2. Prepare Foil: Take two pieces of wide aluminum foil, each about two and a half feet long. Cross them inside a roasting pan, forming a plus sign shape, with the long ends hanging out for wrapping.

3. Season Brisket: Sprinkle half of the dry onion soup mix and crushed garlic evenly onto the foil in the roasting pan. Place the beef brisket on top.

4. Season Again: Sprinkle the remaining half of the dry onion soup mix and crushed garlic over the brisket.

5. Wrap Brisket: Carefully encase the brisket completely in the foil, ensuring that no juices will seep out during cooking.

6. Initial Cooking: Put the foil-wrapped brisket into the preheated oven and cook at 400°F (204°C) for 1 hour. This initial high-temperature cooking will help heat the meat through.

7. Slow Cooking: After the first hour, reduce the oven temperature to 250°F (121°C) and continue cooking for an additional 5 hours. This low and slow cooking method is essential for achieving tender, flavorful brisket.

8. Prepare Gravy: Once the brisket is done cooking, carefully open up the foil, set aside the roast, and pour the drippings into a 2-quart saucepan.

9. Make the Sauce: Add the can of Golden Mushroom soup and red cooking wine to the drippings in the saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sauce reaches your desired temperature and consistency. This savory gravy will elevate the flavor of the brisket to new heights.

10. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve hot, accompanied by your favorite sides. This Texas Brisket Roast pairs perfectly with summer squash casserole, creamy mashed potatoes, and freshly baked biscuits or cornbread (try jalapeno cornbread for an extra kick!).

Tips:

• For the best results, choose a well-marbled brisket for maximum flavor and tenderness.

• Customize the seasoning to your taste preferences by adding your favorite herbs and spices to the dry onion soup mix and garlic.
• Make sure to check the internal temperature of the brisket with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches at least 190°F (88°C) for optimal tenderness.
• Leftover brisket makes delicious sandwiches or can be used in tacos, salads, or stir-fries for easy and flavorful meals throughout the week.
