Preparation Instructions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
