Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Brisket

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

  2. 2

    Coat the Brisket

    Rub the olive oil all over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, sprinkle the spice mixture over the brisket, massaging it into the meat to enhance flavor.

Marinating

  1. 3

    Place in Ziplock Bag

    Place the seasoned brisket into the large Ziplock freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing the bag to prevent freezer burn.

  2. 4

    Add Beef Broth

    Pour the beef broth into the bag with the brisket. Seal the bag tightly, ensuring that the broth is evenly distributed around the meat.

  3. 5

    Refrigerate

    Place the sealed bag in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Prepare for Cooking

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) if you’re planning to slow cook the brisket. Remove the brisket from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 7

    Cook the Brisket

    Transfer the brisket (along with the marinade) to a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Cover tightly with foil or a lid and place in the preheated oven. Cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

  3. 8

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
