TEXAS OVEN-ROASTED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make a dry rub by combining chili powder, salt, garlic and onion powders, black pepper, sugar, dry mustard, and bay leaf. Season the raw brisket on both sides with the rub. Place in a roasting pan and roast, uncovered, for 1 hour.
• Add beef stock and enough water to yield about 1/2 inch of liquid in the roasting pan. Lower oven to 300 degrees F, cover pan tightly and continue cooking for 3 hours, or until fork-tender.
• Trim the fat and slice meat thinly across the grain. Top with juice from the pan.

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.
