Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp black pepper, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, and 2 tbsp kosher salt to create the spice rub.
2. Step 2: Rub 3 tbsp olive oil all over the 2.5 kg beef brisket, then coat evenly with the spice rub, pressing it into the meat.
3. Step 3: Place the brisket fat side up on a large sheet pan with a rim. Pour 1 cup beef broth around the brisket to keep it moist during cooking.
4. Step 4: Cover the sheet pan tightly with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is very tender and pulls apart easily.
5. Step 5: Remove the foil and roast uncovered for an additional 30 minutes to develop a crust. Let the brisket rest for 20 minutes before slicing against the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
