Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate beef brisket overnight in beef broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, liquid smoke, and garlic powder.
- Place the marinated brisket into a cooking bag.
- Remove air from the cooking bag.
- Bake the brisket at 300°F for 1 hour per pound in a covered dish.
- Once cooked, remove from oven and brush with barbecue sauce before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding sliced onions or bell peppers to the marinade. If you prefer a spicier kick, try adding a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper. You can substitute the beef broth with vegetable broth for a lighter option. If you don't have liquid smoke, smoked paprika can be a great alternative. Always let the brisket rest before slicing for the juiciest results.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the brisket sliced with a side of creamy coleslaw or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with the One Pan Noodle Stroganoff for a comforting dinner. Consider offering crusty bread or soft rolls to soak up the delicious barbecue sauce. For a fun twist, serve it in sandwiches or tacos.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover brisket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the brisket in a covered dish with a splash of beef broth or water to keep it moist, and warm it in the oven at 250°F until heated through. This method ensures the meat retains its tenderness.
