Create a rub using 2.5 tablespoons of salt, 1.5 tablespoons of ground pepper, 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 2 tablespoons of lemon pepper, 4 tablespoons of smoked paprika, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cumin, and 3 packed tablespoons of brown sugar.

Combine all spices in a bowl and mix well.

Use a 7.5-pound whole brisket, leaving the fat cap intact.

Pat the rub onto every square inch of the brisket using one clean hand to sprinkle and the other to pat it on.

Place the seasoned brisket into a large 2.5-gallon ziplock bag and refrigerate overnight to marinate.

Slice 2 pounds of onions finely.

Heat a roasting pan on the stovetop with a quarter cup of oil and sear the brisket for around 5 minutes on each side.

Remove the brisket and sauté the onions in the same pan, seasoning them with a teaspoon of reserved brisket rub until translucent.

Add 2 cups of beef broth to the onions and deglaze the pan.

Place the brisket on top of the onions with the fat cap side up, cover tightly with foil, and cook in a preheated oven at 250°F for 1 hour per pound (about 7 to 7.5 hours).

Ensure the internal temperature of the brisket reaches at least 175°F.

Let the brisket rest tightly wrapped in aluminum foil for at least 1 hour before slicing.
