Dry Rub Oven Baked Brisket Recipes

OVEN BAKED BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
• Rinse off brisket and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Lay meat flat on a cutting board. Pour half rub on top and rub/pat on so there's a nice thick coat. Flip over and do the same thing on the bottom.
• Put foil on a baking sheet and lay brisket on top, allow excess rub to fall off on cutting board.
• Pour excess from board on top of meat and press on again. Cover pan with meat on top with foil.
• Bake for 3 hours. Before taking it out add sauce ingredients into a small saucepan on the stovetop. Boil until onions are softened.
• Take meat out, take foil off and pour 1/3 - 1/2 of sauce on top of meat. (if sides of pan aren't too high just pour on 1/3, you don't want it to be higher than 1/2 way up sides)
• Put foil back on the top and put back into the oven for 1.5-2 hours (mine was 3.2 lbs. and 1 1/2 hours was enough, larger would need more time to get tender) until meat is fork tender.
• Then take foil off and bake uncovered for 30 minutes so outsides can get nice and brown.
• Remove pan and put foil back on top to let meat rest for 30 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with a side dish with some of the remaining sauce poured on top to make it super moist.

DRY RUB OVEN BAKED BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix dry rub ingredients. (This recipe for dry rub will cover a 5 lb brisket.)
• Remove the brisket from the package and trim away any silver skin or excess fat.
• Coat the entire brisket with the dry rub and massage the dry rub into the meat. Make sure to coat the sides of the brisket.
• Wrap the dry-rubbed brisket tightly with non-stick Reynolds foil and refrigerate overnight. Completely wrap it as a package in one direction then go across the other direction sealing the foil.*A minimum of 3 hours is needed for the dry rub to penetrate the brisket.
• Take the brisket out of the refrigerator an hour before cooking it, allow the brisket to get to room temperature before cooking.
• Preheat the oven to 275° F
• Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the brisket
• Slow Roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F. Remove the brisket from the oven and carefully cut the foil open to expose the brisket and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 195-205 degrees F.*Depending on your oven, and where you inserted the meat thermometer, this process may take 5-6 hours.
• Do not be tempted to raise the temperature for faster cooking time, or your brisket will be very tough. Slow oven roasting allows the fats to break down gradually, tenderizing the beef, so it has a stretching juicy quality in the end.
• Remove the brisket from the oven and place it on a cutting board. Tent the brisket with a sheet of foil, and let it rest for 3 hours so the juices redistribute evenly throughout the brisket.
• When cutting the brisket make sure to go against the grain. Slice the brisket in pencil width slices. *See Notes
