Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Trim the Brisket

    Using a sharp knife, trim any excess fat from the lean beef brisket. Leave a thin layer of fat for flavor.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the entire brisket.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 4

    Prepare the Cooking Liquid

    In a mixing bowl, combine the beef broth or stock and Worcestershire sauce. If using, add the liquid smoke for extra flavor.

  3. 5

    Roast the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket in a roasting pan and pour the prepared cooking liquid around it. Cover the pan tightly with foil.

  4. 6

    Cook the Brisket

    Roast the brisket in the preheated oven for about 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C) for tender meat.

  5. 7

    Rest the Brisket

    Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the brisket against the grain into ¼-inch thick slices. Serve with BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
