How to Cook Brisket in Oven at 275
It is pretty easy to make brisket in the oven. The only thing you should do is prepare it with several seasonings and then cook for several hours. During the process, you will not need to flip or turn it; leave it alone until the cooking time elapses!
Ingredients
- Beef Brisket (The amount you get depends on the number of people you are feeding)
- Olive oil
- Worcestershire sauce or mustard
- Barbecue rub
- Onion powder
- Sweet peppers
- Liquid smoke
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
- Start by preheating your oven for a few minutes at 275.
Step 2: Prepare the brisket
- Clean the brisket and pat dry it. Then, Trim the excess fat from the brisket. Ensure not to remove all the fat from it; leave about ¼ inch of the fat. Place the meat in a large pan.
Step 3: Season the brisket
- Rub the brisket with some olive oil on all parts. After this, massage it with the barbecue rub. If you do not have the rub, you can make yours by mixing the onion powder, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and mustard.
- Then rub the mixture into the brisket.
- You may leave the brisket to marinate for a few hours in the fridge before cooking it; usually, seasoning it a day before cooking is the best option. It will ensure all the spices and the rub get into the brisket.
Step 4: Prepare the onions, peppers, and liquid smoke
- There is not much you need to do with these ingredients. Cut up the onions and peppers in the oven-friendly pan. Then pour the liquid smoke into it. If you have some beef broth, you can also add it.
Step 5: Cook
- Place the brisket in the oven tray. You can place some aluminum foil on the tray then spray it with some olive oil before placing the brisket.
- After placing the brisket, cover the pan with aluminum foil. Allow it to cook at the 275 ºF. Depending on its size, the brisket will cook for about 6 hours or more.
- After 6 hours, you can check whether the brisket is ready. So, please remove it from the oven and uncover it. Then place it back into the oven without the cover and allow it to cook for another 1 to 2 hours.
Step 6: Remove and Serve
- After cooking for 1 or 2 hours, please remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes. Go ahead and shred the meat for serving.
