- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons seasoned salt

- Trim brisket well, and then combine the brown sugar, seasoned salt, chili powder, and black pepper to make a dry rub. Coat the brisket well, and allow it to reach room temperature.
- Heat the grill to around 325 degrees. Place brisket on the grill and cook on each side for approximately 30 minutes. Remove brisket from the grill.
- Heat oven to 275 degrees, and wrap brisket in foil. You can add sliced onions and garlic cloves to the brisket before wrapping with foil if you like.
- Place foil-wrapped brisket in a baking dish, and bake brisket for an additional 3 hours. Or until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees.
- Open the foil and cook for another hour or until the internal temperature reaches 200 to 202 degrees. Then remove from the oven.
- Rest the beef for 30 minutes before slicing.
