This recipe was born out of the need to please a few picky eating carnivores for a holiday meal. It immediately became a family favorite and the most requested dish of the year.
The unctuousness of the meat makes it seem like something you’d find in a fine dining steak house. While the simplicity of it, makes it a perfect every-man meal that’ll impress even the most discerning of your foodie friends.
Melt in Your Mouth Blackened Brisket
Ingredients
- 4 lb beef brisket
- 2 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp onion powder
- 1 Tbsp black pepper ground
- 1 Tbsp sugar or sweetener of your choice
- 1/2 Tbsp seasoned salt
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3-5 drops liquid smoke
- 1 roasting pan with a rack
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Give your brisket a quick rinse and pat dry with a paper towel (this helps the spices stick to the meat). Then place in your roasting pan on the rack.
- In a small bowl, mix all dry spices together.
- Rub all sides of the meat with the dry spice mix as evenly as possible. I do this in the roasting pan so that any of the spices that fall off of the meat will be added to the juices underneath and still add flavor.
- Roast uncovered for 1 hour, fat side up. Remove from the oven and lower the oven temp. to 300 degrees. It will already look great and make your house smell amazing.
- Mix together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and a few drops of liquid smoke. Then carefully pour the liquid mix into the pan, under the rack. Do NOT pour the liquid on to the meat!
- Cover tightly with foil and put back into the oven and let cook for 3 hours. This is where the magic really happens... Lower the oven temp. to 250 degrees and let it cook for an additional 2 hours.
- Take out of the oven and let rest for 30 minutes before removing the foil. It should have a beautifully blackened bark and the fat should be nicely rendered down.
- Then just slice thinly and enjoy with your favorite side dishes.
