Ingredients

  • 5-6 lbs beef brisket
  • 1 recipe brisket dry rub
  • 1/4 cup black coffee
  • 1/4 cup liquid smoke
  • 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 250 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Liberally apply the dry rub on both sides of the brisket. If the brisket was refrigerated, let it sit for 30 minutes or until it comes to room temperature.
  • Whisk all of the liquid ingredients together and pour into a roasting pan. Add the brisket to the roasting pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Cook for 6 hours or until an instant read thermometer reaches 190 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Remove the brisket from the oven and let rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Then, slice against the grain for the most tender pieces of brisket.

Notes

  • Depending on the size of your brisket, you'll want to cook it for approximately one hour and fifteen minutes per pound of brisket.
  • Please make note of my comment above regarding Worcestershire sauce, as many do contain gluten. For a gluten-free version I recommend this one.
  • When it comes to liquid smoke, this all natural hickory smoke is my favorite.
