Instructions
- Apply the dry drub. Preheat your oven to 250°F. Liberally apply the dry rub on both sides of the brisket. If the brisket is refrigerated, let it sit for 30 minutes or until it comes to room temperature.
- Mix roasting liquid. 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 the brisket. Cook for about 6 hours or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 195°F to 200°F.
- Slice the brisket. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Then, slice against the grain for the most tender pieces of brisket.

Notes
- As mentioned above, I'm using a flat cut in these photos and videos, which is a leaner cut. If you like a fattier (and thus more juicy) brisket, make sure to choose a point cut.
- When it comes to the Worcestershire sauce, if you're gluten-free like me, please do read labels. Many brands of Worcestershire sauce are not gluten-free as they contain soy sauce or malt vinegar. For a gluten-free version I recommend this one.
- When it comes to liquid smoke, this all natural hickory smoke is my favorite.
