Cooking Instructions!
In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the brisket marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over the beef brisket, covering all sides. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
Place the marinated beef brisket on the smoker rack and smoke for approximately 1 hour per pound (2 hours per kg) or until the internal temperature reaches 203°F (95°C). This slow-cooking process ensures tender and flavorful meat.
While the brisket is smoking, prepare the BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke in a saucepan. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
Slice the smoked BBQ beef brisket against the grain and serve with the homemade BBQ sauce.
Enjoy your delicious smoked BBQ beef brisket with friends and family!
