How Do U Cook a Beef Brisket
Making a giant, roasted brisket for your family or friends is basically the best way to say "I love you" through a dish. Most famously you might immediately think of brisket and immediately think of smoking and needing hours and hours. This preparation ismuch easier and quicker but it does not sacrifice flavor or tenderness. It's so comforting, and it's a showstopper that's actually ridiculously simple to make. That can be our secret, though. (Want to make brisket even simpler? Try making beef brisket in your slow cooker!)
While the process is simple, there can still be ways to mess things up or lingering questions you may have. Make sure to follow these steps and you'll end up with a beautifully tender piece of meat (and hopefully, lots of leftovers for sandwiches or hash!) every time. This is also a leftover machine! It is perfect for sandwiches, cooked into a hash or simply eaten cold out of the fridge late at night.
Season early and season well.
The only "ingredients" in this brisket are salt and pepper, so you want to make sure they do their job. Go for kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (no shakers here!) to maximize flavor. Take your brisket out of the fridge, season generously on all sides, and leave it out until it gets to room temperature to begin the tenderizing process. Think dry brine, but easier.
Want something with a bit more punch? Any seasoning rub will work but we think a cajun brisket or maybe use some taco seasoning and make some brisket tacos!
Choose the right roasting pan.
Grab your largest, heaviest, high-sided pan. Basically, the pan you only use once a year to roast your turkey on Thanksgiving. A disposable pan is okay if it's all you've got, but a heavy duty one will ensure even cooking and caramelization.
Fat is your friend.
Always roast fat-side-up. When you do that, the fat acts as a self-baster, dripping onto the brisket itself and the potatoes, allowing everything to braise. You don't want too much fat, though, or things could get greasy. If you have more than ⅛ inch of fat, trim it.
Nail the timing.
Our foolproof ratio is 18 minutes per pound. Stick to that and you'll be golden. Ovens can vary, though, so to really be sure your brisket is cooked through and tender, check with a fork towards the end. Poke it into the middle—the fork should go through the meat easily, with no resistance.
Make it ahead of time.
If you can, try to roast your brisket a day ahead of when you plan to serve it. After roasting, let it sit and cool slightly, then slice against the grain and place back into its juices. Letting it sit in that liquid allows the brisket to really soak up all those delicious flavors. You know how chicken soup is always better the day after you make it? Yeah, it's like that. Then, reheat at a low temperature before you're ready to serve.
What about leftovers?
We love using leftover brisket and it can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Our favorite leftover recipe? A delicious breakfast hash with fried eggs is one of the best ways to get started in the morning.
If it's your first time roasting brisket, you can now be confident that you'll absolutely nail it! Check out more holiday brisket recipes here.
