Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 4 hours
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 (5 lb) beef brisket

2 tbsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

2 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1/2 cup ketchup

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1/2 cup water

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and position the rack in the lower third of the oven.

2. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the brisket.

3. Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the brisket on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, then remove from the skillet.

4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and ketchup. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.

5. Return the brisket to the skillet, turning to coat with the sauce. Cover with a lid or foil, and transfer to the oven.

6. Cook for 3-4 hours, basting the brisket with its juices every hour, until it is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

7. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve with the reduced sauce.

Storage

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

Reheating

Reheat the brisket in a covered dish in a 300°F (150°C) oven until warmed through, about 20-30 minutes.
