Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare a large baking pan with two strips of heavy-duty foil, crisscrossing to fully encase the brisket.
- Place brisket on foil, pour Worcestershire sauce over it, and sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Seal the brisket tightly within the foil by folding and rolling the edges.
- Bake for 4-5 hours at 325 degrees Fahrenheit, or until fork-tender.
- Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of the brisket juices.
- Carefully transfer the brisket to a carving board.
- Slice brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch pieces.
Notes
- For optimal tenderness, ensure your brisket reaches an internal temperature of 195-205°F (90-96°C) at the thickest part. This allows connective tissues to break down completely.
- When carving, always slice against the grain. This shortens the meat fibers, making each bite much more tender.
- Leftover beef brisket can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the oven with a splash of reserved juice or broth to prevent drying. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically.
