Brisket Ingredients

Method

Brisket Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

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

  2. 2

    Season the Brisket

    In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Rub this mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it covers all sides evenly.

  3. 3

    Marinate

    Drizzle the liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar over the brisket. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Cooking

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated brisket in a roasting pan and pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan.

  5. 5

    Cook the Brisket

    Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for 4 to 5 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shreds with a fork. Baste the brisket with the juices every hour.

  6. 6

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin slices.
