2 Ounces Traditional Brisket Recipe

Brisket Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Brisket

   Begin by trimming any excess fat from the brisket to ensure it's not too greasy after cooking. Cut the brisket into a 2-ounce portion if it's larger.

2. 2

   Season the Brisket

   In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the brisket piece, ensuring it's evenly coated.

3. 3

   Sear the Brisket

   In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned brisket and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

4. 4

   Prepare for Braising

   Transfer the seared brisket to a braising pan or slow cooker. Pour the beef broth over the brisket and add the bay leaf and fresh thyme.

5. 5

   Braise the Brisket

   Cover the pan or slow cooker and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

6. 6

   Serve the Brisket

   Once cooked, remove the brisket from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the braising liquid as a sauce.
