Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp ground wattleseed, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper to make the rub.
- Step 2: Pat dry 3 lbs beef brisket and rub 2 tbsp olive oil all over. Generously coat the brisket with the wattleseed spice rub, pressing it into the meat on all sides.
- Step 3: Place the brisket fat-side up in a roasting pan and pour 1 cup beef broth into the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist.
- Step 4: Cover tightly with foil and slow roast in the oven for 4-5 hours until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
- Step 5: Remove the brisket from the oven, rest covered for 20 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve with pan juices.
