Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preparing the brisket. I like to trim off excess fat but leave some on to keep the meat moist during cooking. After that, I rub the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring every inch is covered. This seasoning creates a beautiful crust as it cooks. Next, I heat a skillet on medium-high heat, add a splash of oil, and sear the brisket for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s nicely browned. This step brings out such rich flavors!
