32/ Boomer's Brisket

Low on heat and long on time, this is a perfect Brisket for a BBQ sandwich or a Seder dinner.

Mix together dry rub: 

  • 2 tbl. brown sugar
  • 2 tbl. smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • 1 tbl. coarse salt (or 1-2 tsp. finer grain salt)
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion granules
  • 1 tsp. coriander
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • ½ tsp. cayenne (or omit) 

Trim excessive fat from ~4lb. brisket (but leave a decent sized fat cap on!) and rub all over with dry rub. Place fat-cap up on foil-lined roasting pan and place in 225° oven for ~5 hours. Wrap in foil, and place back in oven for another hour. Let rest in foil until ready to slice thinly. 

As with all cuts of meat, the better the pasture and butcher, the better this will be.
