This hunk of brisket is seared, slow cooked and then roasted in the oven and then smothered in a smoky BBQ sauce.

It starts with a simple homemade BBQ spice rub put together with pantry ingredients.

Brisket is one of my fave cuts of meat to cook as it can be slow cooked or roasted for a long period to get it’s melt in the mouth texture. In this recipe, I do both, slow cook it for tenderness and roast it for it’s outer texture. The results are delicious!

You can serve this with caramelized Onions on mashed potato or on buns!
