Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Choose a brisket cut that boasts good marbling—aim for a USDA Choice or Prime cut. Remove excess fat, leaving a thin layer.
  2. Rub the brisket evenly with the Texas-Style Brisket Rub, covering all sides generously. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) and prepare a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on top.
  4. Place the seasoned brisket on the wire rack, fat side up. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part.
  5. Cook the brisket for approximately 1 hour per pound, monitoring the thermometer as it approaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Once at 165°F, remove the brisket and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or butcher paper.
  7. Return the wrapped brisket to the oven until it reaches around 200°F (93°C), which takes an additional 1 to 2 hours.
  8. Remove the brisket, unwrap, and let it rest on a cutting board for 30 to 45 minutes.
  9. Slice the brisket against the grain into about ¼-inch thick pieces and serve with your favorite sides.
