Cooking Tips

• Choose a well-marbled brisket for the best flavor and tenderness.
• Allow the brisket to come to room temperature before cooking for more even cooking.
• For a smoky flavor, you can smoke the brisket on a grill or in a smoker instead of using the oven.
• If you prefer a crispy exterior, you can sear the brisket in a hot skillet before transferring it to the oven.
• Leftover brisket can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

• To store leftover brisket, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
• Reheat the brisket in the oven at a low temperature to maintain its tenderness.
• Serve brisket as a main dish with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, or use it in sandwiches and tacos.
