How to Prepare Your Beef Brisket

Step 1: Apply the Dry Rub

Begin by preheating your oven to 250°F. Generously coat both sides of the brisket with the dry rub mixture. If refrigerated, allow the brisket to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Braising Liquid

In a bowl, whisk together the black coffee, liquid smoke, blackstrap molasses, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and essential oils. Pour this mixture into a roasting pan.

Step 3: Cook and Rest the Brisket

Place the brisket in the roasting pan, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and cook for approximately 6 hours. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 195°F to 200°F. Allow the brisket to rest for 30 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Tips for Perfect Brisket

For a deeper flavor, marinate the brisket with the dry rub overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the spices to penetrate the meat thoroughly.

Consider adding a splash of your favorite barbecue sauce to the braising liquid for a sweet and tangy twist. This can enhance the overall taste profile of the brisket.

Serve the brisket with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the rich flavors. Leftovers make excellent sandwiches or can be added to a hearty stew.
