Brisket Ingredients

Method

Brisket Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Start by trimming any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the top for moisture.

  2. 2

    Season the Brisket

    In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice blend all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating.

  3. 3

    Sear the Brisket

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the brisket, fat side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until browned. Flip and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Braising Liquid

    In a large roasting pan, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir to mix well.

  5. 5

    Add Brisket to Braising Liquid

    Place the seared brisket fat side up in the roasting pan with the braising liquid. Add the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs on top.

  6. 6

    Cover and Cook

    Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C). Cook for about 4 hours or until the brisket is fork-tender.

  7. 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.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the braising liquid as a sauce.
