Ingredients

4 pounds beef brisket
1/2 cup water
2 cups barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Spice Rub Mixture

1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons paprika
3 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Whisk together the spice rub mixture and set aside.
Wash the brisket under cold running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Place the brisket on a large sheet pan with the fat side down. Using half of the spice rub mixture, rub the the mixture into the top and sides of the brisket.
Flip the brisket over and use the remaining spice mixture to rub into the beef.
Pour the water into a large roasting pan. Set the brisket into the pan with the fat side facing up.
Whisk together the barbecue sauce and yellow mustard. Brush the top of the brisket with half of the sauce.
Cover the roasting pan with foil. Bake for 3 hours and 45 minutes.
Remove from oven. Remove and foil and discard. Top the brisket with the remaining sauce.
Place brisket under the broiler for 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent the sauce from burning.
Once browned, remove from oven and allow brisket to rest for five minutes.
Slice thinly and serve.

Notes

Once you remove the cooked brisket from the roasting pan, you can prepare a barbecue gravy from the pan drippings. Pour the drippings into a fat separator. Once the fat rises to the top, pour the sauce at the bottom into a sauce pan. Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and cook until thick. Transfer to a gravy boat and serve with prepared brisket.
