Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. Rub the brisket with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional chili powder.
  2. Sear the seasoned brisket in a hot skillet until browned on all sides.
