Ingredients

4 pounds beef brisket
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon kosher salt to taste
1 tablespoon coarse black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon mustard powder

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Take your brisket out of the fridge about an hour before applying the rub. A cold brisket makes the rub harder to adhere. Aim for the meat to be around room temperature (around 68°F).
In a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground coriander and mustard powder. Once combined, apply the rub to the brisket - Use a light touch when applying the rub initially, then pat and press it firmly into the meat, making sure to coat all sides, including the sides and the fatty end.
Put the brisket in a large roasting pan with a cover. Cover the brisket and cook at 325 degrees for about 3 hours.
Remove from oven and slice the brisket. Put the brisket slices back into the roasting pan and cover with barbecue sauce and water (premix these together). Cook an additional one hour.

Notes

Tips:

This rub is a great base, but feel free to experiment! You can add a kick of spice with cayenne pepper or chipotle powder, or a touch of sweetness with a little brown sugar.
Store leftover rub in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

This easy rub is sure to deliver delicious results on your smoked or oven-roasted brisket!
