Delicious cooked Beef Brisket

Ingredients

  • 1 (5-7 pounds) beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Optional: 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Begin by trimming excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer to help keep the meat moist.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create your seasoning rub.
  4. Rub the spice mix evenly over the entire surface of the brisket, ensuring to massage it well into the meat.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, sear the brisket for 5-7 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
  6. Transfer the brisket to a roasting pan and pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan. If using, add the fresh herbs to the broth.
  7. Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 4-6 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  8. Once done, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  9. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides or on a sandwich!
