Ingredients

  • 5 lb Flat cut Beef Brisket
  • 1 recipe BBQ Dry Rub
  • BBQ Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Liquid Smoke
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Liberally season the brisket on all sides with BBQ Dry Rub. The brisket can sit in the fridge overnight to let flavor penetrate, or it can be cooked right away.
  • Set brisket on a large strip of foil, fat cap up, and add liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce, then wrap the foil around the brisket, sealing tightly.
  • Bake in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is perfectly tender. The brisket is done when it can be pierced with a fork with little resistance, and the meat separates when the fork is twisted.
  • Remove brisket from oven, unwrap from foil, and turn the broiler on high.
  • Set brisket under the broiler and broil the fat cap until it begins to crisp. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
  • Remove brisket from the oven and paint liberally with BBQ sauce, then set under the broiler again to allow the BBQ sauce to thicken into a jam-like consistency. The sauce will burn quickly, so keep your eye on it.
  • Remove from oven, let brisket rest for 10 minutes and serve.

Notes

Brisket cooking time will vary from brisket to brisket. If your brisket is not tender when finished cooking, simply cook it longer.
