Baked brisket is a classic dish that has been enjoyed for generations. Whether you are planning a special occasion dinner or simply want a hearty and flavorful meal, baked brisket is a great choice. Brisket is a cut of beef that comes from the breast of the animal, and it is known for its rich flavor and tender texture. When cooked properly, brisket can be fall-apart tender and incredibly juicy. The key to cooking a great brisket is to cook it low and slow, allowing the collagen in the meat to break down and tenderize. In this article, we will provide you with all the information you need to make the perfect baked brisket, including the best recipes, cooking tips, and serving suggestions.

EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET
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.

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.

OVEN-BAKED BRISKET

BAKED CORNED BEEF BRISKET
OMG, this rocked my world! Baking is the best way to retain all the flavors of a corned beef. I was raised on boiled corned beef. This by far blows that method "out of the water"! I don't think there is any turning back to the old way after this! This is a combination of recipes that I have previously posted. Corned beef needs to be baked long and at a low temperature in order to break down the connective tissue. *Please note: if your corned beef does not come with a flavor packet there are additional seasonings needed, as notes in step #2 below. I thank my good friend BBQGuru for his inspiration and making me see the light. Sorry I got lazy and had to improvise but it was damned good anyway ;^P. Recipe #254973 and Recipe#15843

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275°.
- NOTE: 3/14 This will be salty. If you would like to reduce the saltiness of your corned beef before baking, please follow this recipe recommendations recipe#361142.
- NOTE: *If your corned beef does not include a flavor packet add 2 T peppercorns and 1/2 T coriander seeds to the dried seasonings listed above.
- Combine the flavor packet with other dried ingredients. Using a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, grind to desired texture. I prefer medium or med-fine. Set aside.
- Rinse corned beef brisket well with cold water. Pat dry.
- Get out your 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Tear off a large sheet of HEAVY aluminum foil, enough to wrap, tent and enclose the corned beef.
- Place the corned beef on the foil, in a baking dish, fat side up.
- Sprinkle with seasoning mix and pat into the brisket.
- Bring the foil up & around the corned beef, do not close up the foil.
- Bake, unwrapped, for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, wrap the brisket tightly and tenting the foil but sealing it for the remainder of the time, an additional 2 hours. Feel free to check and make sure there is moisture in the foil, re-wrap and continue baking. Approximate baking time is 1 1/5 hours per pound. It may take longer depending on desired level of tenderness.
- Bake to an internal temperature of 185°. Check for tenderness. Continue baking until the brisket is fork tender. It may take additional time depending on the thickness of the brisket.
- Allow the meat to rest before slicing. Cut against the grain.
- I prefer to use an electric knife to get nice thin slices.
- Serve with horseradish, a hearty rye bread, Colleen's Colcanon potatoes, and Irish Soda bread (see suggestions in the intro).
- Enjoy!

- 1. In small bowl mix together brown sugar, paprika, cumin, black pepper, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Rub all over the brisket on both sides and let sit for 30 minutes.
- 2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place brisket in large roasting pan (with fat side down) and cover with sliced onions. Pour beer and barbecue sauce over the top. Cover well with aluminum foil and bake for 3 1/2 - 4 hours. You can check to see if the brisket is done by slicing off a small piece of the edge and seeing if it comes apart with a gentle tug. Remove from pan and trim any excess fat away. Brush with any extra sauce and place under broiler or on grill for 1-2 minutes. Flip and repeat for the other side. Stay close by as broilers are unpredictable.
- 3. Cover and let rest for 20-30 minutes. Slice against the grain at a perpendicular angle. If desired serve with extra barbecue sauce.

Steps:

- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Shake flour into largest-size oven cooking bag. Place brisket into bag. Close bag and pierce as instructed on package. Layer the onions on top of the brisket, inside of the bag. Place on baking pan in the center of the oven.

Tips:
- Choose a brisket with good marbling for a tender and flavorful result.
- Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer to help keep it moist during cooking.
- Use a dry rub to coat the brisket evenly. This will help to create a flavorful crust.
- Sear the brisket in a hot skillet or grill before baking. This will help to lock in the juices and create a caramelized crust.
- Place the brisket in a roasting pan with a rack. This will allow the fat to drain away from the meat as it cooks.
- Cover the brisket with foil and bake at a low temperature for several hours. This will help to tenderize the meat and prevent it from drying out.
- Check the internal temperature of the brisket with a meat thermometer. The brisket is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
Conclusion:
Baked brisket is a classic dish that is perfect for special occasions or a casual family dinner. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious and tender brisket that your family and friends will love. Experiment with different dry rubs and cooking methods to find the perfect combination for your taste.
