Beef Brisket Recipe
A fantastic dry rub is applied to the beef brisket, which is then roasted on low heat for hours until it almost melts in your mouth. It is then grilled or broiled until caramelized and charred after being drenched in homemade BBQ sauce. One of the best briskets you’ll ever taste is this one.
Easy beef brisket in the oven
The best way to savor this outstanding cut of meat is with beef brisket. The meat, the dry rub, and our incredible homemade Barbecue sauce, which are all infused into the brisket during the slow roast, are all bursting with flavor in this recipe. Don’t be intimidated by the quantity of seasonings we require because the majority of them are pantry staples.
And we can assure you that it will all be worthwhile because nothing is as delicious as beef brisket that is entirely homemade! Additionally, the oven does almost all of the work once the beef has been prepared.
What is a brisket?
A type of meat cut known as brisket originates from the lower chest or breast of beef or veal. It’s a tougher cut with a lot of connective tissue, so slow cooking is the only way to prepare it. Additionally, the low-and-slow heat dissolves those tissues, giving you incredibly tender flesh. This cut also has a distinctive quality—unlike other cuts, which can only be shredded once they become soft—it can be both tender and sliceable at the same time.
