Ingredients

2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 bay leaf, crushed
4 pounds beef brisket, trimmed
1 1/2 cups beef stock

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Make a dry rub by combining chili powder, salt, garlic and onion powders, black pepper, sugar, dry mustard, and bay leaf. Season the raw brisket on both sides with the rub. Place in a roasting pan and roast, uncovered, for 1 hour.

Add beef stock and enough water to yield about 1/2 inch of liquid in the roasting pan. Lower oven to 300 degrees F, cover pan tightly and continue cooking for 3 hours, or until fork-tender.

Trim the fat and slice meat thinly across the grain. Top with juice from the pan.

Never Fail Recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This brisket is awesome and easy to prepare. So tender and moist you can cut it with a feather. The house smelled incredibly ... inviting while it was cooking. My husband insisted I put some aside to make sandwiches for his lunch the next day. I am certain I will make this again especially when I need a perfect for all, never fail recipe for church functions. Enjoy!Read more

Best rub ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have never made a brisket before so I wasn't sure what to do with it. Since I had all the ingredients for this recipe, I... decided to try it and I'm so glad I did!! It was super easy to make and the meat came out really tender and delicious. My husband couldn't stop raving about it and practically ate the whole thing himself. The only small complaint I have is that it was maybe a little too salty (as others have said). Next time I will try cutting down the salt (I used Kosher) to maybe one tablespoon instead of two. I bet this rub would be great on ribs or maybe even fish! I will definitely be keeping this recipe for future meals. Read more

reviewers used wrong salt
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The people who said their Brisket came out too salty probably didn't use kosher salt. I am guessing they used regular table... salt. Try kosher salt or sea salt next time.Read more

I agree with Selden, NY; way too much salt; the meat was tender but the drippings were way too salty even when I cut the salt... in half. Maybe it is a misprint in the receipe and it should have been 2 teaspoons. I discarded most of the sauce and had some extra beef broth so I made a last minute sauce to keep the meat moist. I will try again and almost leave the salt out.Read more
