Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6–8 lb brisket (point or deckle cut)
- 24 ounces (680 grams) ketchup
Seasoning:
- 1 ounce (28 grams) Lipton Onion Soup Mix
Liquid:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a low and slow 275°F, creating the perfect environment for transforming the tough cut of meat into a tender delicacy.
- Position the brisket carefully in a roasting pan, ensuring it fits comfortably for even cooking.
- Whisk together the ketchup, onion soup mix, and water to create a rich, flavorful braising liquid that will infuse the meat with deep, savory notes.
- Generously pour the sauce over the brisket, using a brush or spoon to coat every surface, ensuring maximum flavor penetration.
- Seal the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil, creating a moisture-trapping environment that will help break down the meat’s tough connective tissues.
- Slide the covered pan into the preheated oven and allow the brisket to slow-cook for 7-8 hours, transforming from a tough cut to a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece.
- Once cooking is complete, remove the pan from the oven and let the brisket rest, undisturbed, for 1-2 hours to allow juices to redistribute.
- After resting, transfer the brisket to a cutting board and slice against the grain into clean, precise 1/2-inch thick pieces for maximum tenderness.
Notes
- Choose a well-marbled brisket for maximum tenderness and flavor, as fat helps keep the meat moist during long cooking.
- Trim excess fat to about 1/4 inch thick before cooking to prevent greasy texture while maintaining juiciness.
- Use low and slow cooking method to break down tough connective tissues, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth meat that’s fork-tender.
- Make ahead and refrigerate overnight to enhance flavors and allow easier fat removal before slicing and serving.
