Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 (up to 4 lbs) beef brisket
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1½ tsp salt, or to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • coleslaw
  • cheddar cheese, shredded
  • shredded brisket
  • brioche buns or tortillas optional


Instructions

  1. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and prepare a spice blend by mixing paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using) in a small bowl.
  2. Coat the brisket evenly with the spice mixture. For better flavor, let it rest for 30-60 minutes or refrigerate overnight.

Adjust the cayenne pepper based on your spice preference.
Serve the brisket with coleslaw and cheddar cheese on brioche buns or tortillas for a delicious meal.
