Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Trim any excess fat from the beef brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat for flavor.

  2. 2

    Make the Rub

    In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Mix well to form a rub.

  3. 3

    Season the Brisket

    Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 5

    Prepare the Cooking Liquid

    In a large roasting pan, combine Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Mix well.

  3. 6

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket fat side up in the roasting pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and cook in the preheated oven for about 4 hours.

  4. 7

    Check for Tenderness

    After 4 hours, carefully remove the foil and check the brisket for tenderness. If it is not tender, cover again and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 hours, checking every 30 minutes.

  5. 8

    Rest the Brisket

    Once the brisket is tender, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the brisket against the grain into thin slices. Serve with BBQ sauce, pickles, and sliced onions on the side, if desired.
