Method
Preparing the Brisket
- 1
Season the Brisket
Rub the beef brisket with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Sear the Brisket
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the brisket on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). This step enhances the flavor.
