Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup (59 ml) paprika
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) kosher salt
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) black pepper
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) maple sugar
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) garlic powder
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) onion powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp (5 ml) cumin
Instructions
- Spice Fusion: Meticulously combine all dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, using a whisk to create a perfectly uniform seasoning blend that harmonizes paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and salt with precision.
- Flavor Calibration: Taste the spice mixture, adjusting the heat and sweetness by carefully introducing additional maple sugar or cayenne pepper to achieve a balanced and complex flavor profile.
- Brisket Preparation: Generously massage the dry rub across the entire surface of the brisket, ensuring complete and even coverage that will create a tantalizing crust during cooking.
- Thermal Infusion: Position the seasoned brisket in a preheated smoker or oven at 250°F, allowing slow, consistent heat to tenderize and intensify the meat’s natural flavors over an extended cooking period.
- Resting and Serving: Once the internal temperature reaches 195-203°F, remove the brisket and allow it to rest for 30-45 minutes, letting the juices redistribute and ensuring maximum tenderness before slicing against the grain.
Notes
- Measure with Precision: Use calibrated measuring tools to ensure exact spice proportions, creating a balanced and consistent flavor profile.
- Blend Thoroughly: Whisk spices meticulously to prevent clumping and guarantee an even distribution of flavors throughout the rub.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the spice mixture and fine-tune heat or sweetness by carefully adding maple sugar or cayenne pepper in small increments.
- Seal and Preserve: Store the rub in an airtight glass jar or sealed plastic bag to maintain its potency and protect from moisture, ensuring long-lasting flavor potential.
