Whole Beef Brisket (un-pulled) Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Brisket

   Remove the brisket from the packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat, leaving a thin layer for moisture during cooking.

2. 2

   Make the Rub

   In a bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Mix well to create a dry rub.

3. 3

   Season the Brisket

   Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating. Use your hands to massage it into the meat for better flavor.

4. 4

   Marinate

   Cover the seasoned brisket with plastic wrap or place it in a large resealable bag. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.

5. 5

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C) to prepare for slow cooking.

6. 6

   Prepare for Cooking

   Place the brisket in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet, fat side up. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce around the brisket.

7. 7

   Cook the Brisket

   Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place it in the preheated oven and cook for approximately 1 hour per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C) for tender results.

8. 8

   Rest the Brisket

   Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest, covered loosely with foil, for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

9. 9

   Slice and Serve

   Slice against the grain into thin slices for serving. Enjoy your perfectly cooked whole beef brisket!
