Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 pounds beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup (Grade A Amber recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional garnishes: fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped; thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. Mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning mix evenly over all sides of the brisket. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together maple syrup, minced chipotle peppers, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, minced garlic, and olive oil until smooth. (About 5 minutes)
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms (optional but recommended).
  5. Place the brisket in the roasting pan or Dutch oven. Pour half of the glaze over the top, spreading it evenly with a brush or spoon. Cover tightly with foil or a lid.
  6. Roast for 3.5 to 4 hours, basting every hour with the remaining glaze. The brisket is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 195-205°F (90-96°C) or when the meat is fork-tender.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest covered for at least 20 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and glaze to set.
  8. Slice the brisket against the grain in thin slices. Drizzle any extra glaze from the pan over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.

Notes

Searing the brisket before roasting adds flavor and texture but can be skipped if short on time. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect tenderness. Baste regularly to keep the glaze moist and prevent burning. Let the brisket rest before slicing for juicier meat. The glaze can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
