Preheat your smoker to 225°F using oak or hickory wood for an authentic Texas flavor profile.
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the dry rub.
Pat the brisket dry with paper towels and apply the spice rub generously over all sides of the meat.
Place the brisket on the smoker grate and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, which typically takes several hours.
Remove the brisket and wrap it tightly in un-waxed butcher paper to preserve the crust while softening the connective tissue.
Return the wrapped brisket to the smoker and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 203°F.
Remove the meat from the smoker and allow it to rest for at least 30 to 60 minutes to ensure the juices redistribute.
While the meat rests, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp and toss them with avocado oil.
Slice the brisket against the grain into thin strips and drizzle with the sugar-free BBQ glaze.
Serve the sliced brisket alongside the steamed broccoli and garnish with pickled red onions for a bright acidic finish.
