For an even richer flavor, marinate the brisket with the dry spice rub for at least 2 hours, or even overnight, in the refrigerator before browning. If you don't have a Dutch oven, a large, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid will work as a substitute. Ensure the lid seals well to trap moisture during cooking. The brisket is done when it's fork-tender. The internal temperature should reach around 203 degrees F (95 degrees C). The pan drippings make an incredible gravy. If desired, you can thicken the gravy with a slurry of cornstarch and water (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) after removing the brisket from the Dutch oven.
