Ingredients

• Brisket - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cayenne pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the brisket, ensuring full coverage.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
