Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Allow the meat to sit on the counter for 1 hour before cooking. Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle over the brisket, patting it down all over the meat. Heat the avocado oil over medium high heat in a Dutch oven.
This smoked brisket application is formulated for an electronically controlled smoker — as long as the temperature can be controlled, you should be able to use this with any commercially available smoker. Read your owner’s manual, of course, and comply with all safety notices and instructions.
You can braise it, smoke it, grill it or let your slow cooker do the heavy lifting for you. In this recipe, we add everything to the slow cooker, then walk away for 4 hours. Right before serving, we sear the brisket in the skillet to caramelize the crust and maximize flavor.
The dry rub makes the meat ultra flavorful, but if you want to take it a step further, make our homemade keto BBQ sauce to top it off, or use a sugar free store-bought BBQ sauce. Delicious beef brisket slow-cooked with a simple spice blend to create the keto BBQ of your dreams.
