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.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality brisket: Look for a brisket that has good marbling, as this will help to keep it moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket: Before cooking, trim away any excess fat from the brisket. This will help to reduce the cooking time and prevent the brisket from becoming too greasy.
  • Season the brisket liberally: Season the brisket with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the brisket.
  • Sear the brisket: Before braising, sear the brisket in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to brown the brisket and add flavor.
  • Braise the brisket slowly: Braise the brisket in a covered dish in the oven at a low temperature for several hours. This will help to tenderize the brisket and make it fall-apart tender.
  • Rest the brisket before serving: After braising, let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the brisket.

Conclusion:

Peppercorn brisket is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can create a flavorful and tender brisket that your family and friends will love.
