Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the beef brisket into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Pour tiger sauce over the brisket.
- Sprinkle all sides of the brisket with Tony's seasoning.
- Bake covered with foil for 4 to 5 hours or until tender.
- Thicken the sauce if desired and serve over rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the brisket in the tiger sauce overnight. If you don't have Tony's seasoning, a mix of garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper can serve as a great substitute. Ensure your oven is preheated for even cooking and check the brisket periodically to avoid overcooking. This dish pairs perfectly with hearty sides, making it a versatile option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the brisket over fluffy rice, allowing the sauce to soak in for extra flavor. It pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. Consider offering a side of mashed potatoes or a warm bread roll to complement the rich flavors. This dish also makes a great centerpiece for gatherings, showcasing delicious beef recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover brisket should be cooled completely before storing. Place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, slice the brisket and warm it gently in a skillet with a splash of broth or water to keep it moist. You can also reheat it in the microwave, covered, in short intervals to avoid drying it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
While beef brisket is ideal for its tenderness and flavor, you can substitute with chuck roast. However, cooking times may vary, so ensure it's cooked until tender. Keep in mind that the flavor and texture will differ slightly, but it will still yield a delicious result.
How can I thicken the sauce if I want a richer consistency?
To thicken the sauce, you can use a cornstarch slurry by mixing equal parts cornstarch and cold water and adding it to the sauce while simmering. Alternatively, simmer the sauce uncovered to reduce it until it reaches your desired thickness. Adjust seasoning as needed after thickening.
What can I serve with brisket to enhance the meal?
Brisket pairs beautifully with sides like coleslaw, baked beans, or roasted potatoes to balance its richness. For a lighter option, a crisp green salad or steamed asparagus can add freshness. This versatility allows you to tailor the meal to your guests' preferences.
