Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 250°F, ensuring a steady heat for roasting the brisket.
-
Prepare Seasoning: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together garlic powder, onion powder, cracked black pepper, kosher salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and sugar. Set this flavorful blend aside for later use.
-
Prepare the Brisket: Line a 9″x13″ pan with foil for easy cleanup. Place the brisket in the pan with the fat side facing down. Generously sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture over the brisket, ensuring even coverage.
-
Season the Other Side: Carefully flip the brisket over so that the fat side is facing up, then sprinkle the remaining seasoning mixture over this side as well.
-
Lower the Temperature: Once seasoned, reduce the oven temperature to 200°F. Place the brisket in the oven and allow it to cook for approximately 5 hours. During this time, remember to baste the brisket with its own juices about once every hour to keep it moist and flavorful.
-
Resting Period: After 5 hours, carefully remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
-
Slice and Serve: After resting, slice the brisket against the grain into thin strips, then pull it apart into shreds using two forks. Place the shredded brisket in a bowl and gently stir in your desired amount of barbecue sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.
-
Enjoy: This succulent brisket is perfect on chips, crackers, buns, pasta, or salads—or simply enjoy it straight from the bowl!
This Fake Barbecued Brisket will surely become a hit at your next gathering, combining ease of preparation with incredible flavor that everyone will appreciate!
