Beef Brisket

1 2-1/2 pound beef brisket

Dry Rub:
1 Tbsp dried thyme leaves
1 Tbsp paprika
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin

Sauce:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 tsp ground mustard

Directions:
Mix sauce ingredients and set aside to let flavors blend. Mix dry rub ingredients and rub over the brisket. Brisket should be cooked in a low temperature oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees and roast for one hour. Reduce heat to 300 degrees. Roast 5-7 hours until fork tender. You can pour some of the sauce over the brisket for the last hour of cooking, but you don't have to. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Slice across the grain and serve with sauce on the side.
