Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp ground black pepper, 2 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp smoked paprika to create the dry rub.
2. Step 2: Rub 2 tbsp olive oil evenly over the 3 lbs beef brisket, then massage the dry rub all over the meat ensuring full coverage. Place the brisket on a rimmed sheet pan, fat side up.
