Directions

  • Step one

    Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place baking rack on baking sheet. Pat brisket dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. Place on rack, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

  • Step two

    Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove plastic wrap. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of brisket and then cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Insert probe of oven safe thermometer into the thickest part of the brisket. Bake until internal temperature reaches 200°F, about 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

  • Step three

    While brisket is roasting make BBQ sauce. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and cumin and cook 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce, molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Simmer sauce until thick, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Step four

    After meat reaches 200°F, uncover brisket, brush with sauce and continue baking 1 hour, basting with sauce as desired.

  • Step five

    Remove from oven and tent with foil. Let meat rest at least 20 minutes before carving. Serve with additional sauce.
