Ingredients:

• 1 whole beef brisket 8-10 pounds


• 1/4 cup black pepper, coarsely ground


• 1/4 cup kosher salt


• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika


• 2 tablespoons brown sugar


• 1 tablespoon garlic powder


• 1 tablespoon onion powder


• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper


• 1 cup beef broth


• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar


• Wood chips for smoking

Instructions:

Preheat your smoker to 225F 107C using your preferred wood chips for added flavor

Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the surface

In a bowl, mix black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create the rub

Rub the spice mixture generously over the brisket, covering all sides

Place the brisket in the preheated smoker and smoke for approximately 1 hour per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 200F 93C

In a separate bowl, combine beef broth and apple cider vinegar to create a basting liquid

Every hour, baste the brisket with the liquid to keep it moist and flavorful

Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing

Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce

Enjoy the smoky and flavorful Blackjack Brisket!
