How to Make From Aj's To Daddys Brisket

  1. Day 1: Prepare the brisket. Trim excess fat from a 3-4 lb beef brisket. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme. Mix well.
  3. Place the brisket in a large roasting pan or Dutch oven. Pour the sauce over the brisket, ensuring it's coated evenly.
  4. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil or a lid. Refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
  5. Day 2: Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  6. Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before shredding.
  8. Shred the brisket using two forks. Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid.
  9. Return the shredded brisket to the cooking liquid, allowing it to absorb some of the delicious sauce.
  10. Serve on buns, alongside mashed potatoes, or as part of a hearty sandwich. Enjoy!
