Step-by-Step Instructions for Texas-Style Brisket in the Oven

  • Choose a beautifully marbled brisket cut, ideally USDA Choice or Prime, ensuring the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Rub the Texas-Style brisket rub all over the brisket, ensuring an even coating on all sides. Allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 250°F (about 121°C) and prepare your roasting pan and wire rack.
  • Once preheated, place the brisket on the wire rack and cook low and slow, approximately 1 hour per pound.
  • When the brisket hits an internal temperature of 165°F, wrap in foil or butcher paper to manage moisture.
  • Let the brisket rest for a minimum of 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

For optimal results, choose quality meat and allow resting time after cooking to enhance juiciness.
