Step two
Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove plastic wrap. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of brisket and then cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Insert probe of oven safe thermometer into the thickest part of the brisket. Bake until internal temperature reaches 200°F, about 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Stir in garlic, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and cumin and cook 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce, molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Simmer sauce until thick, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
