Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
Instructions
Mix the Spices
- Take a mixing bowl and add all spices together. Stir well until everything is evenly combined. This ensures every bite of brisket has balanced flavor.
Prepare the Brisket
- Pat the brisket dry using paper towels. This helps the rub stick better. Trim extra fat if needed, but keep a thin layer for moisture.
Apply the Rub
- Sprinkle the rub generously over the brisket. Use your hands to press it gently. Make sure all sides are well coated with the spice mix.
Rest the Meat
- Let the brisket sit with the rub for at least 30 minutes. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate overnight to absorb all spices deeply.
Preheat the Grill
- Prepare your grill or smoker to low heat. Keep temperature around 110–120°C (225–250°F). Slow cooking makes brisket tender and juicy.
Cook the Brisket
- Place brisket on the grill. Cook slowly for several hours. Turn occasionally and maintain steady heat. This helps build a flavorful crust.
Check Doneness
- Cook until the meat becomes soft and tender. Use a thermometer if needed. Internal temperature should reach around 90°C (195°F) for best texture.
Rest and Slice
- Remove brisket and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice against the grain for tender pieces. Serve warm and enjoy your Bobby Flay Brisket Rub Recipe.
