Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
- 2. Coat the inside of an oven roasting bag with flour. Lay bag in a broiling pan. Place brisket inside of bag. Pour liquid smoke over the brisket and sprinkle on garlic powder, dry onion soup mix, and ground black pepper. Pour in beef broth. Seal bag. Using a fork, make two sets of holes in the top of the roasting bag.
- 3. Bake in a preheated oven for 7 to 8 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef brisket. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Season the brisket generously with a rub of your choice. Common ingredients in brisket rubs include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the brisket low and slow. The ideal cooking temperature for brisket is between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This will allow the meat to cook evenly and develop a tender, flavorful crust.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the brisket is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature of the brisket should reach 200 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 205 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 210 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.
Conclusion:
Tender brisket is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are cooking it for a special occasion or just a weeknight meal, following these tips will help you achieve perfect results every time.
