Ingredients

for 4 servings

5 lbsbeef brisket

2 tbsppaprika

1 tbspbrown sugar

1 tbspsalt

1 tspblack pepper

1 tspgarlic powder

1 tsponion powder

Instructions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the spice rub.

Step 1

Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, making sure to coat it evenly. Let the brisket sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 1

Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the brisket in the smoker and cook for about 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 195°F (90°C) and it is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.

Step 1

Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender brisket.
