Creole Mustard Slather Brisket

Ingredients

• 5 pounds Beef Brisket (Flat or Point)
• 0.5 cup Spicy Creole Mustard
• 3 tablespoons Smoked Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Garlic Powder
• 1 tablespoon Onion Powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Kosher Salt
• 2 tablespoons Coarse Black Pepper
• 1 cup Beef Broth(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven or smoker to 275°F (135°C).

2. 2

   Pat the brisket completely dry with paper towels to ensure the mustard adheres properly.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper to create the Cajun rub.

4. 4

   Generously slather the entire surface of the brisket with the Creole mustard, using it as a thick binder.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the spice rub over the mustard layer, pressing gently with your hands so it forms a thick crust.

6. 6

   Place the brisket in a roasting pan or on the smoker rack, fat side up.

7. 7

   Cook for approximately 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F and the meat is tender.

8. 8

   Remove from heat and let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing against the grain.
