Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef brisket
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 275°F. Rub 2 tbsp olive oil evenly over the entire 3 lbs beef brisket. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp black pepper, and 2 tsp salt. Rub this spice blend generously over all sides of the brisket.
- Step 2: Place the brisket fat side up in a roasting pan and pour 1 cup beef broth into the pan. Cover tightly with foil and roast in the oven for 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Step 3: Remove the brisket from the oven and increase oven temperature to 425°F. Mix 2 tbsp yellow mustard with 1 tbsp honey and brush this glaze over the top of the brisket. Return uncovered to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes until the edges caramelize and the glaze is bubbly.
- Step 4: Let the brisket rest for 15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve with pan juices spooned over the top.
