Oven-Baked Texas-Style Brisket Ingredients

A quick look at what goes into making this juicy brisket and keeping it simple!

Brisket Ingredients:

5-7 pounds brisket, trimmed
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Sauce Ingredients:

1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions

These easy-to-follow steps will guide you to brisket bliss. Let’s get started!

Prepare the Brisket: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat the brisket dry using a paper towel and rub it with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar. Ensure it’s evenly coated!
Sear for Flavor: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the brisket in the skillet, searing for 3-4 minutes on each side. This will create a delicious crust that locks in moisture.
Bake It Low and Slow: Transfer the brisket to a roasting pan. In a separate bowl, mix the beef broth and apple cider vinegar, and pour this mixture over the brisket. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours or until the brisket is fork-tender.
Rest the Brisket: Once cooked, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, giving you the juiciest bites!
Serve: Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides, like coleslaw or cornbread.
