Ingredients
  

Brisket

  • 4.5 lb beef brisket, flat cut

Rub

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Cooking

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic smashed
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 0.25 cup Worcestershire sauce

Notes

Slicing is key: cut against the grain for tenderness. Fat-side up bastes meat during cooking. To make gravy, strain leftover liquid, skim fat, and thicken with cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water).
