Ingredients Needed:
- 1.8kg whole beef brisket
- 240 ml, BBQ sauce (plus extra for serving)
For the Spice Rub:
- 25 g light brown sugar
- 15 g ancho chile powder (or any chili powder)
- 5 g ground cumin
- 8 g salt
- 5 g granulated garlic
- 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 g cayenne pepper
How To Make BBQ Brisket Recipe?
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Make the Spice Rub: Mix the brown sugar, chile powder, cumin, salt, garlic, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl.
- Prepare the Brisket: Trim the fat cap to about ½-inch thick, if desired. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels.
- Rub the Spice Mixture: Rub the spice mix all over the brisket on both sides. Set aside while you heat the grill.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill on high for 10 minutes, then turn to medium-high.
- Grill the Brisket: Grill the brisket until charred on both sides, turning as needed. Watch for flare-ups from the fat.
- Bake the Brisket: Place the brisket in a 33 x 23 cm (13 x 9-inch) baking pan, fat side up. Pour BBQ sauce over the brisket and cover with two layers of foil. Bake for 3 hours.
- Rest and Slice: Let the brisket rest for 20 minutes after baking. Remove the foil and slice thinly. Discard the juices or use them for sauce. Serve with extra BBQ sauce.
Recipe Tips:
- Check the temperature: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the brisket reaches 195°F (90°C) for a tender result.
- Let it rest: After baking, rest the brisket for 20 minutes to keep it juicy and tender.
- Trim fat right: Trim the fat cap to ½-inch thick—too much fat makes it greasy, but a little adds flavor.
- Grill on medium-high: Grill the brisket on medium-high heat to get a nice char without burning it.
- Wrap tightly in foil: Wrap the brisket tightly in foil before baking to keep it moist and tender.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the brisket cool to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Freeze the brisket for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: Heat on medium for 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
