Cook time: 6 hours
Serves: 10

Ingredients

5 lbs beef brisket

1/4 cup coffee grounds, finely ground

2 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp kosher salt

1 tbsp black pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup beef stock

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine coffee grounds, smoked paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

2. Rub the spice mixture generously over the entire brisket, pressing it into the meat, then drizzle with olive oil and rub again to ensure even coating.

3. Cover and refrigerate the brisket for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

4. Preheat the grill to medium-low heat (about 275°F).

5. Place the brisket on the grill, fat side up, and cover.

6. Cook for about 6 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature, until the internal temperature reaches 195°F.

7. Baste occasionally with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and beef stock to keep the meat moist.

8. Once cooked, remove the brisket from the grill and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Storage

Store leftover brisket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheating

To reheat, wrap the brisket in foil and place in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 20-30 minutes, or until heated through.
