How To Make Oven Braised Beef Brisket

  1. Brown The Brisket: Season the brisket generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Pan sear both sides, starting with the fat side up.
  2. Cook The Vegetables: Set the brisket aside and add the vegetables and aromatics.
  3. Prepare the braising liquid: Pour in the wine and let it simmer until it reduces by half.
  4. Braise: Add in beef broth, tomato paste, fresh herbs, and the brisket. Cover and cook in a preheated oven at 325°F for 3-4 hours, or until fork tender and the internal temperature of 180°F- 200°F.
  5. Rest, then slice. Transfer the brisket to a serving tray. Cover with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes. When ready to serve, slice against the grain.
  6. Make The Sauce. Strain the braising liquid to remove the cooked vegetables and aromatics. Pour the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in a mixture of cornstarch and water to thicken the sauce.

Key Tips:

  • Make sure your brisket is room temperature before pan searing. Set it on the counter at least 30 minutes before you are ready to prepare it to allow the brisket to come to room temperature. This helps the brisket cook evenly and guarantees the best texture.
  • When braising the brisket, the liquid should only cover 2/3rds of the meat. This is essential to properly braise your brisket.
  • Make sure the lid is tight and secure during the braising process.
  • Use the leftover liquid to make a roux (sauce) for the brisket. Simply strain the sauce and thicken it using cornstarch

How Long To Braise Brisket Per Pound?

The general rule of thumb is to braise the brisket in the oven for 75 mins (1 hr 15 minutes) per pound, or until the internal temperature of 180°F – 200°F is reached. This helps ensure the connective tissues and fiber are broken down, resulting in ultra-tender meat.

How Long Should You Braise Brisket?

Braising brisket generally cooks for 3-4 hours total or until it is fork-tender and easily falls apart. You do not want to overcook the brisket or it will become more of a stew.

What Kind Of Meat Is Brisket?

Brisket is a cut of meat that comes from the lower chest of a cow. This area tends to be well-exercised and muscular, thus resulting in a tougher cut of meat. Because of this, brisket is great for low and slow cooking or braising.

How Much Brisket Do I Need For 4 Adults?

The typical rule of thumb is 1/2 pound brisket per person, before cooking (brisket will shrink down while cooking). I like to purchase a 2.5-3 pound brisket for serving 4-6 people.

How Do You Braise Without A Dutch Oven?

To braise meat you simply need a dish that can be tightly covered for the long cooking process. If you do not have a Dutch oven, you can use a roasting pan or a pan covered with a tightly sealed lid with a double layer of aluminum foil.
