  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

This beef brisket recipe guarantees tender, succulent results every time. Perfect for special occasions or a hearty family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb beef brisket
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring it is well coated.
  4. In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the brisket from the pot and set aside. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the pot, scraping the bottom to deglaze.
  6. Return the brisket to the pot, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer to the preheated oven.
  7. Cook for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender and easily shreds.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For best results, cook the brisket low and slow to ensure tenderness.
  • You can also cook the brisket in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours if preferred.
  • Let the brisket rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
