Ingredients
  

For the Brisket:
  • 6 pound beef brisket
  • 1 cup yellow mustard for rub
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Equipment

  • Large roasting pan
  • Meat thermometer
  • Aluminum foil
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Stepwise Method:
  1. Begin by trimming any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about a quarter inch for flavor. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine yellow mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well blended.
  3. Generously coat the brisket with the mustard mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered on all sides. This will help form a flavorful crust as it cooks.
  4. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). This low and slow cooking temperature is key to achieving tender brisket.
  5. Place the brisket in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C).
  6. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest, covered, for at least 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven covered with foil to retain moisture.
  • Use leftover brisket in sandwiches, tacos, or stir into a hearty stew.
