1 tablespoon smoked paprika

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons onion powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create the marinade.

3. Place the beef brisket in a large roasting pan and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is well-coated.

5. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours, basting with the pan juices every hour.
