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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef brisket. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help ensure that the brisket is tender and flavorful.
- Trim the brisket of excess fat. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Season the brisket liberally with a dry rub. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the brisket.
- Cook the brisket low and slow. This will help to tenderize the brisket and make it fall-apart tender.
- Baste the brisket with cooking liquid every few hours. This will help to keep the brisket moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the brisket and make it easier to slice.
