- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to make the spice rub.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly caramelized.
