Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds beef brisket
  • 1/4 cup brisket rub
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for mixing with the other liquids
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 medium onion roughly chopped
  • 1 large celery stick roughly chopped
  • 2 leaves bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Take the brisket out of the fridge and let it sit on a plate until it reaches room temperature, which takes about 1 hour.
  3. Sprinkle the brisket rub all over the brisket, pressing it into the meat to help it stick.
Cooking
  1. In a roasting pan, mix together the olive oil, beef stock, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, chopped onion, chopped celery, bay leaves, and salt.
  2. Place the seasoned brisket into the roasting pan, on top of the mixture.
  3. Cover the roasting pan with foil and position it in the center rack of the preheated oven.
  4. Roast for 4 to 5 hours, or until the brisket is tender. At the halfway point (about 2 hours in), check the liquid and add a bit of water or beef stock if needed.
  5. Once done, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 30-45 minutes, covering it loosely with foil before slicing and serving.

Notes

Slice the brisket against the grain for the best texture. Serve warm with sides such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables. Drizzle additional barbecue sauce on top for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
