Oven Baked Brisket Recipes

OVEN BAKED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• If the brisket has a thick layer of fat, trim it down to ¼-inch. Mix together rub ingredients. Rub all over brisket, wrap it in plastic wrap or place in in a sealable container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Place the brisket in a roasting pan and cover the baking pan with a lid, or seal it well with foil. Bake for 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic and sauté for 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Add the cayenne, vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, broth and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes until it reduces slightly. Remove from the heat.
• Take the brisket from the oven, turn it over, and pour the half of the sauce into the pan over the brisket, recover the pan (if using foil, cover the pan tightly, using towels to protect your hands from the hot pan). Reserve the rest of the sauce in the pot. Continue cooking in the oven for another 2 hours or so, or until the meat is just about fork tender. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes until the outside of the brisket has browned up and gotten a bit crusty.
• Remove from the oven, take the brisket out of the pan, and let it sit on a cutting board tented with foil (with a little moat to catch the juices!) for 20 minutes before slicing across the grain. If there is any sauce left in the pan, skim off the fat and add it to the remaining sauce in the pot, and heat it again before serving the brisket with the additional sauce for people to drizzle over their meat if they like. If you want a smother sauce you can strain out the solids, or puree it with a blender.

EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Season both sides of the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. For best results, place brisket over an aluminum foil "rack" set over a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and apple juice. Increase heat to high and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer half of the apple-onion mixture into a baking dish. Place brisket fat-side up on top; cover with remaining apple-onion mixture. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and bake until fork-tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Check for doneness after 2 hours.
• Transfer brisket to a plate and tent with foil.
• Pour the onions and braising liquid into a large measuring cup or bowl. Skim some fat off the top. Puree with a stick blender to create a gravy.
• Slice brisket across the grain and serve with the gravy.

OVEN BAKED BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
• Rinse off brisket and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Lay meat flat on a cutting board. Pour half rub on top and rub/pat on so there's a nice thick coat. Flip over and do the same thing on the bottom.
• Put foil on a baking sheet and lay brisket on top, allow excess rub to fall off on cutting board.
• Pour excess from board on top of meat and press on again. Cover pan with meat on top with foil.
• Bake for 3 hours. Before taking it out add sauce ingredients into a small saucepan on the stovetop. Boil until onions are softened.
• Take meat out, take foil off and pour 1/3 - 1/2 of sauce on top of meat. (if sides of pan aren't too high just pour on 1/3, you don't want it to be higher than 1/2 way up sides)
• Put foil back on the top and put back into the oven for 1.5-2 hours (mine was 3.2 lbs. and 1 1/2 hours was enough, larger would need more time to get tender) until meat is fork tender.
• Then take foil off and bake uncovered for 30 minutes so outsides can get nice and brown.
• Remove pan and put foil back on top to let meat rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a side dish with some of the remaining sauce poured on top to make it super moist.
