Ingredients
  

  • 3.5- pound brisket
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh black pepper
  • ~ 1 tablespoon dried cumin
  • ~ 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • ~ 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ~ 1 tablespoon molasses
  • ~ 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil over a roasting pan or cookie sheet, making sure it's large enough to wrap the entire piece of meat.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the brisket liberally with salt and pepper. Place the brisket fat side down in the center of the aluminum foil.

  • Sprinkle on the cumin, garlic powder and paprika then splash with Worcestershire and drizzle on the molasses. I didn't actually measure anything so all amounts listed are an estimate. This type of cooking isn't a science. Go with your gut. If you like garlic add lots. If you aren't a fan cut back or even remove. The spices are just for flavor. I would say you need a small sweet note, which is why I went with molasses. It's deeper than brown sugar or honey and added a wonderful flavor to the "juice."

  • Wrap the brisket in the foil sealing in spices.
  • Roast for 3.5 hours.
  • Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to slice. Mine sat on the counter for 20 minutes.
  • Slice against the grain and drizzle with the liquid from the foil.
  • Done!
