Beef Brisket
Description
This Beef Brisket recipe requires coating a 4-pound brisket with a dry rub made from homemade or store-bought brisket seasoning. The brisket is placed in a foil-sprayed baking dish with beef broth in the bottom to provide moisture during roasting. One cup of barbecue sauce is poured over the brisket before the dish is tightly covered with foil.
The brisket roasts slowly at 300°F for about 3 1/2 hours until tender. After roasting, the meat is transferred to a separate sheet pan coated with cooking spray, brushed with additional barbecue sauce, and broiled briefly for 3 to 5 minutes. This finishing step caramelizes the sauce, creating a slightly charred, flavorful crust.
After resting for 10 minutes, the brisket is sliced thinly against the grain and served alongside the remaining barbecue sauce. The method enhances natural beef flavor with a balance of savory seasoning and tangy-sweet barbecue glaze, making the brisket tender and juicy.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef brisket
- 1/3 cup brisket rub homemade or store bought
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 cups barbecue sauce homemade or store bought, divided use

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Coat the meat with the brisket rub.
- Coat a baking dish large enough to hold the meat with cooking spray. Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan.
- Place the meat into the dish. Pour 1 cup of the barbecue sauce over the top.
- Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 3 1/2 hours or until meat is tender.
- Remove the meat from the dish and place on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray. Brush 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce over the top of the brisket.
- Broil for 3-5 minutes or until caramelized. Watch carefully to make sure it does not burn.
- Let the meat rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain, then serve with the remaining BBQ sauce.
