What is brisket

This what is brisket brisket made in the oven is about as close as you can come to Texas-style smoked brisket without actually using a smoker. Juicy beef brisket is rubbed with an amazing dry rub and baked in the oven until tender. Learn how to make a great beef brisket right in your kitchen. For this brisket and many other meats, I use my favorite Dry Rub recipe.

Try making corned beef brisket in the oven as well, you won’t be disappointed. BEEF BRISKET Beef brisket comes from the lower chest area of the cow. It’s a very tough cut of meat because it comes from the area where there is a lot of muscle and tendons. Because it’s a tough cut of meat, brisket should be cooked at low temperature for a long period of time. There are two basic parts of the whole beef brisket. Ideally, the whole brisket is cooked at the same time because the fat juices from the top point part seeps into the flat. This makes brisket flat meat juicier.

Unfortunately, many grocery stores don’t carry the whole brisket but only carry the flat. For the whole brisket, check your butcher shops. Because flat is much more common, I normally work with that cut. Try to get beef brisket that has a little more fat on top, in the fat cap. Flat brisket cut still had a small fat cap on top. Of course, for best results and for a true Texas-style brisket, it should be cooked in a smoker. Since not everyone has a availability and time to slow cook the brisket in the smoker, I want to share my recipe for making the beef brisket in the oven.

HOW TO COOK BEEF BRISKET IN THE OVEN Note: Be prepared to start the brisket a day before cooking it. Giving it time to soak up the flavors from the dry rub overnight will give you a much better result. Before Cooking Let’s start with making our favorite dry rub, that should take a whole 5 minutes to make. Take brisket flat out of the package, lay it on a cutting board and pat it dry with a paper towel. Spread a generous amount of dry rub on top, flip the brisket over and spread a generous amount of dry rub over that. Make sure there is a good amount of seasoning and rub it all over all the sides of the brisket. Massage the rub into every nook and cranny and make sure it’s nicely coated all over.

Wrap rubbed brisket in a couple of layers of foil, covering it tight. Place in a pan or a dish just in case some juices leak out, so that it doesn’t leak all over the refrigerator. Refrigerate the brisket overnight or up to 12 hours. Take the brisket out of the refrigerator an hour before cooking it, unwrap and let it get to room temperature. Lay a couple of sheets of foil that are long enough to loosely cover the brisket, crisscross, on top of the rack. You can layer the bottom of the roasting pan with aluminum foil to catch whatever drippings might leak through.

Place the brisket, fat cap up, in the middle of aluminum foil prepared in the roasting pan. Bring the aluminum foil together and close it, covering the brisket loosely, leaving a little space between the brisket and the foil. Use a meat thermometer to measure the thickest part of the brisket. Take the brisket out onto the cutting board, tent it with a sheet of foil, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Make sure to cut the brisket against the grain. BRISKET SERVING SIZE Wondering how much brisket to get? That’s the story of my life.

2 lb of uncooked meat per person. It’s also very subjective because it highly depends on the sides that you’re servings with it. Lighter sides will not fill guests as much, so more brisket will be needed per person. Heartier sides, will be more filling. To me, recommended servings never seems enough so I get an extra pound or two of meat. It’s better to have meat leftover than not have enough.

HOW TO STORE BRISKET If you have leftover brisket, store it covered in the refrigerator, covered tightly. Wrap cooled brisket in a sheet of parchment paper and then wrap it in some aluminum foil. Keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. HOW TO REHEAT BRISKET Brisket is nicely reheated in the oven. Slice cold brisket and wrap the slices in foil. Reheat the foil packets in the oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on how thick the slices are and how many slices there are in the foil.

You can place foil wrapped brisket directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Note: the little fat layer on top won’t have the crunch once it’s been reheated. I can see all the things you tried!
