Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4-5 lbs beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce optional

Equipment

  • Large roasting pan
  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • Sharp knife for slicing
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about a quarter-inch layer.
  3. Rub the brisket with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Place the seasoned brisket in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
  5. Pour the beef broth into the pan around the brisket.
  6. Cover the roasting pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  7. Cook the brisket in the preheated oven for about 4 hours.
  8. Check the internal temperature; it should reach at least 190°F (88°C).
  9. Once done, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
  10. Slice against the grain for the best texture.

Notes

This brisket pairs beautifully with sides like mashed potatoes, garlic green beans, and coleslaw.
