Texas Oven Roasted Beef Brisket
This is what I made last night for my family and the other family I cook for. It is not a quick dinner, but it is low maintenance. Plus, your house will smell like glory - so good.
Texas Oven Roasted Beef Brisket
2 Tablespoons chili powder
2 Tablespoons salt
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1 Tablespoon ground pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 bay leaf, crushed
4 (or so) pound beef brisket - I think mine was 7 pounds
1 1/2 cups beef stock
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Make a dry rub by combining the first 8 ingredients. Rub the combined seasoning all over the meat - that's why it's called a rub. Place the meat in a roasting pan and put in oven, uncovered, for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, add beef stock to the roasting pan and cover the pan tightly. Lower the temperature of the oven to 300 degrees and continue cooking brisket for 3 hours more, or until fork tender. You can cook this longer, but not shorter time. I have cooked a larger brisket (about 10 pounds) all day at 250 and it came out fine. The brisket last night, though larger, was only cooked the 4 hours and came out fine.
Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes before you slice it. Slice across the grain.
I'm definitely trying this one! Thanks for sharing. ;)
ReplyDeleteOK, *now* I'm hungry. This sounds sooooo good!
ReplyDeleteI've grown away from eating red meat, other than a very occasional burger, stroganoff, or when we hit Outback. This is serious stuff, well worth seconds, thirds, and fourths.
ReplyDeleteYummy! I made this the other night. Family liked it, all leftovers are gone. I used chuck roast because the brisket at the store was HUGE. I later realized that they probably would have cut one to size, but, maybe next time. :-)
ReplyDeleteYippee! I've used this rub with pork roast, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying this today. Can't wait to try it, looks so good! I love beef brisket. I'm sure my family will love it too.
