- A 5 brisket flat will serve about 10 people
Ingredients
- 5 lb Brisket (flat piece)
- Water (or beef broth if you prefer)
- 2 Tbsp Kosher Salt (we prefer Diamond Crystal brand!)
- 2 Tbsp Black Pepper
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt and black pepper. Evenly season the brisket on all sides with this mixture or your favorite spice rub. We provided some suggestions in the recipe notes to help bring smoky flavor to your brisket!
- Take a roasting pan with a rack that’s large enough to fit the brisket and pour enough water into it to have about 1/2″ of liquid in the bottom. Place the brisket on the rack, then cover with aluminum foil.
- Put the brisket into an oven preheated to 350ºF and then reduce the heat to 300ºF. Cook for about 3 hours, or until the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 200-205ºF or is fork tender.We highly recommend cooking to temperature, not time. You can use aremote temperature probelike this one to monitor the brisket as it cooks!
- Once the brisket is done cooking, remove it from the oven and let it rest (still covered in foil) for at least 30 minutes. After resting, slice the brisket into thin slices, being sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
- Serve the oven roasted beef brisket slices either on top of buns with BBQ sauce as BBQ beef sandwiches, or serve the slices as part of a BBQ meal with white bread, pickles, onions, and all of your favorite sides like baked beans, coleslaw, and cornbread. Enjoy!
