Ingredients

For the Brisket:

  • 5-6 lb beef brisket point
  • ¼ cup yellow mustard
  • ½ cup BBQ rub your favorite brand or homemade

For the Burnt Ends:

  • 1 cup barbecue sauce your favorite brand or homemade
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees F.

  2. Trim the excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor.

  3. Rub the brisket with yellow mustard.

  4. Generously coat the whole brisket with the BBQ rub, pressing it into the meat to ensure it adheres well.

  5. Place the brisket on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F.

  7. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  8. Cut the brisket into 1-inch cubes.In a large bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, honey, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.

  9. Raise your oven temperature to 350°F.

  10. Place the cubed brisket into a baking dish and pour the sauce mixture over the meat, tossing to coat each piece evenly.

  11. Return the brisket to the oven and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is caramelized and the burnt ends are crispy and sticky.

  12. Remove the burnt ends from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

  13. Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
