This rub is my go-to brisket rub. I will tell you, it really is the best. I've been making different variations of this rub for all kinds of smoked meats over the years, but I've fine-tuned this version specifically for brisket and it is phenomenal.

I'm personally not a huge fan of sweet in my rubs for beef, so this brisket rub recipe doesn't require any sugar. It's just a simple mix of common pantry spices that will take your brisket to the next level.

I hope you love it as much as I do! Don't forget to save any leftover brisket to make Easy Brisket Soft Tacos. Yum!

WHAT IS IN BRISKET DRY RUB?

Brisket Dry Rub is made with six simple ingredients:

• kosher salt
• black pepper
• smoked paprika
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• ground mustard powder

IS BRISKET DRY RUB SPICY?

This dry rub has a large amount of black pepper whick gives it a little spicy kick. To mellow out the pepper, you can reduce it by up to half. We love it as is, though!

WHAT IS A DRY RUB?

A dry rub is a blend of spices that is rubbed directly onto meat before cooking.

WHAT IS BRISKET?

Brisket is a cut of beef from the lower chest area of a cow. It is known to be a tough cut of beef due to the amount of connective tissue in that part of the animal. A low-temperature slow cook can yield tender, juicy, flavorful brisket.

DO YOU HAVE TO MARINATE THE BRISKET WITH DRY RUB?

You do not have to marinate your brisket with the rub. I like to apply the rub to the meat before preparing the smoker, so it ends up on the meat for roughly half an hour before hitting the heat.
