EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET



Easy Baked Beef Brisket image

For a brisket recipe, this is considered very fast. The convention of cooking it low and slow often results in dried-out meat that never reaches the proper internal temperature. Instead of waiting all day and risking such disappointment, we dial up the temperature slightly and bake it in about half the time to ensure it's both tender and moist. Garnish with chives if desired.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 12h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds first-cut brisket (or flat-cut), trimmed of fat
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 cup apple juice

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.

  • Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket to help it cook evenly.
  • Season the brisket: Season the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a rub or marinade to the brisket for extra flavor.
  • Sear the brisket: Sear the brisket in a hot skillet or Dutch oven to help develop a flavorful crust.
  • Braise the brisket: Transfer the brisket to a braising pan or Dutch oven and add liquid, such as broth or water. Cover the pan and braise the brisket in a low oven for several hours, until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the brisket retain its juices.
