Can you bake a beef brisket?

Yes. If you are asking this question, you are probably thinking that you can only grill or smoke beef brisket as I always assumed but that is not the case. This is a great recipe that is super simple that allows you to learn how to make a beef brisket in the oven without compromising the flavor!

What temperature to bake beef brisket?

In this recipe, I baked my beef brisket for about 8 ½ hours at 325. You want to cook the brisket for about an hour per pound and until it reaches an internal temperature of 185 Degrees F.

If I can't find or don't have access to Tony Chachere's seasoning, what seasonings do you recommend I use to cook the brisket?

I would make a simple dry rub using onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, dry mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, and add some bay leaves. Rub on all sides of the brisket, wrap in plastic wrap, and allow to sit overnight.

Instructions

Pour two tablespoons of liquid smoke on both sides of the beef brisket. Use a brush to brush the smoke evenly across the brisket.
Next, take about 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard and brush on each side of the brisket. Then, liberally season the brisket on both sides with 3 tablespoons of Tony Chachere’s “More Seasoning”. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the brisket from the fridge and allow it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Place the brisket in a large oven rack, fat side up. Lay the sliced onion around the brisket along with the garlic cloves and pour the beef broth into the pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour per pound. In the case of the size of the brisket I cooked, it took about 8 hours and the internal temperature reached 185 Degrees.
Once the brisket is cooked. Allow to sit, covered in aluminum foil, for one hour. Once the hour is up, cut against the grain of the brisket and serve.

Notes

If you are cooking with BBQ Sauce, you can pour the BBQ sauce over the brisket during the last hour of baking in the oven.
