Ingredients
  

Brisket and Rub
  • 2.5 kg beef brisket well-marbled flat cut
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for searing

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 135°C (275°F). Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet until almost smoking.
  2. Rub brisket thoroughly with spice mix. Sear on all sides for 3–4 minutes until crusty and dark.
  3. Place brisket fat-side up in roasting pan. Pour apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce over the meat.
  4. Cover pan tightly with foil and roast for 3–4 hours, basting every hour with pan juices.
  5. Remove from oven and rest wrapped in foil for 30 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Notes

Use a sharp knife to slice brisket thin and against the grain for maximum tenderness.
