Ingredients
  

For the Brisket Rub
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup paprika smoked or sweet, based on preference
  • 1/4 cup coarse sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup black pepper freshly ground for best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste for heat
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

Method
 

Prepare the Rub
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients: brown sugar, paprika, coarse sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, dried thyme, and dried oregano. This blend of spices will create a balanced flavor profile that enhances the brisket.
  2. Using a whisk, mix the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined and no clumps remain. This ensures that each bite of brisket will have an even distribution of flavor.
  3. Transfer the rub into an airtight container for storage. This rub can be kept in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify over time.
