This recipe offers a flavorful and tender brisket with a smoky barbecue twist, perfect for gatherings or family dinners.
Trim the excess fat from the brisket to prepare it for marination.
Trimming the fat allows the marinade to penetrate the meat better, enhancing flavor.
Place the brisket in a large dish and pour the liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce over it, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Use a brush or your hands to evenly distribute the marinade for consistent flavor.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to develop.
Marinating overnight ensures the brisket absorbs the smoky and tangy flavors.
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
Line a baking pan with aluminum foil, place the brisket on it, and seal tightly with more foil to retain moisture.
Sealing the foil tightly prevents the brisket from drying out during cooking.
Bake the brisket in the preheated oven for 6 hours, allowing it to cook slowly and become tender.
Slow cooking at a low temperature ensures the brisket is tender and flavorful.
Remove the brisket from the oven, open the foil, and pour the barbecue sauce over the meat.
Ensure the barbecue sauce covers the brisket evenly for a rich flavor.
Return the brisket to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional hour to caramelize the sauce.
Baking uncovered allows the sauce to thicken and develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
Slicing against the grain ensures the meat is tender and easy to chew.
