Slow cooked beef brisket

In the UK a brisket of beef is considered a cut of meat for a pot roast. In the USA I believe the brisket is treated as one of the best cuts for barbecuing - and today, we put that to the test. We are still reeling from the beautiful flavours that we've just tasted. We will be cooking this again!!!! Low cost and more flavour than a chunk of a good steak in our opinion. Do it.
A bank holiday, sunny weather and the perfect excuse to amble to the pub. We arrived home to a very slow cooked piece of barbecued style brisket in the oven. This recipe was inspired from an American tv programme and we've been wanting to try it for a while. Here's our delicious recipe - and you won't be disappointed!
Dry rub the meat over night with the following spices:

ONE TEASPOON OF 

smoked paprika 

ordinary paprika 

cumin 

dried thyme 

salt and pepper

Then today, we put it in the over covered in foil, sat on a bed of onions and a small cup of water.

It cooked for around 4 hours at 120 degrees C. When we arrived home, we put in a couple of peeled potatoes (hoping for good tasty roasters - which turned out devine) and after half an hour, added some sweetcorn cobs. We wanted to finish the beef on the bbq, but it was quite chilly and we decided to stay indoors. Nothing suffered as a result, because all the flavour just poured from the pan...
Our only regret is that we didn't chop up more onions, as they are so tasty.
