Ingredients
You’ll need the following ingredients to create the perfect BBQ Beef Brisket:
For the Rub
- 2 kg beef brisket
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 heaped tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp paprika
For the BBQ Sauce
- 1.5 cups tomato sauce or ketchup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Brisket
Make the Dry Rub: In a bowl, combine salt, black pepper, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and paprika. This mixture will add flavor and create a nice crust when cooked.
- Rub the Brisket: Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Apply the dry rub generously, making sure to cover all sides evenly. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Cooking the Brisket
Preheat Your Oven/Grill: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) or prepare your grill for indirect heat.
- Cook the Brisket: Place the brisket in a roasting pan or on the grill. If using the oven, cover it tightly with foil to keep the moisture in. Cook for about 6-8 hours, or until it is fork-tender, turning occasionally if grilling.
Making the BBQ Sauce
- Prepare the Sauce: While the brisket is cooking, combine the tomato sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finishing Touches
Glaze the Brisket: During the last hour of cooking, brush your BBQ sauce over the brisket. This will create a delicious glaze that enhances the flavor.
- Rest and Serve: Once the brisket is done, remove it from the oven or grill and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
Slicing Tips
- Slice Against the Grain: When you’re ready to serve, slice the brisket against the grain to ensure tender pieces.
Key Takeaways
- Marination: Allowing the brisket to marinate overnight enhances flavor significantly.
- Slow Cooking: Patience is key; slow cooking at low temperatures provides the best results.
- Resting Time: Don’t skip resting the brisket after cooking for optimal juiciness.
