Oven Beef Brisket

My husband makes this.  He uses the same dry rub that he uses for pulled pork.

Ingredients:
*1 beef brisket
*1/4 cup black pepper
*1/4 cup turbinado sugar (also called "sugar in the raw")
*2 Tablespoons salt
*2 teaspoons dry mustard
*1 teaspoon cayenne

Directions:
The night before, combine all ingredients in a bowl, except for the brisket.  Rub the brisket with the dry rub all over.  Place in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, take the brisket out of the refrigerator.  Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Place the brisket on a broiler pan with some water at the bottom (underneath the metal part).  Bake for 8 hours.

Remove from oven, and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing.  Slice and serve with BBQ sauce on the side.
