Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
1 (11-15 pound) beef brisket, excess fat trimmed to within 1/2-inch all aruond
2 cups Virgil's Dry Rub (see below)
For Virgil's Dry Rub:
2 1/2 cups sweet paprika
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Texas-style chili powder
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup granulated garlic
1/4 cup dried parsley flakes
6 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Mix the salt and pepper and sprinkle evenly over the brisket. Follow with a coating of the dry rub, applied evenly all over. Enclose the brisket in a tightly covered container and refrigerate overnight.
