Instructions:

1. Preparation:

   • Carefully slit just one end of the Cryovac bag, and remove the brisket, saving the bag for later use.
   • Rinse off the brisket, trimming off any aged surfaces, leaving on as much fat as possible, then rinse again and set aside.
   • Rinse out the Cryovac bag and set it aside, as it will be used for marinating.

2. Creating the Marinade:

   • In a small bowl, combine all liquid ingredients except for the olive oil, stirring until well mixed.
   • Add the dry ingredients to the mixture, stirring until dissolved. Start with minimal spices, adjusting to taste as you go. The marinade should have a spicy kick!
   • Whisk the olive oil into the marinade.

3. Marinating the Brisket:

   • Return the brisket to the Cryovac bag, then pour in the marinade, ensuring it coats all sides of the meat.
   • Squeeze out excess air, then seal the bag shut. A helpful tip: use water in the sink to aid in sealing the bag tightly.
   • Massage the marinade into the meat thoroughly, then place the sealed bag in a larger bag to prevent leaks.
   • Refrigerate the brisket to marinate for at least 2 days, ideally up to 5 days. Turn and massage the meat 2-3 times daily for even flavor distribution.

4. Cooking the Brisket:

   • Create a large foil packet by folding together two pieces of heavy-duty foil, making sure it’s big enough to enclose the meat.
   • Place the marinated meat in the foil, sealing the edges tightly to lock in the flavors.
   • Alternatively, use a large roasting bag, squeezing out excess air and sealing it shut.
   • Set the meat on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up for self-basting.
   • Roast in the oven at 250-275°F (120-135°C) for 4-5 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

5. Final Touches:

   • Carefully open the bag to expose the meat, being cautious of the hot juices.
   • Poke a few holes in the bag’s bottom to allow juices to drain into the pan.
   • Remove the bag or foil from under the meat, letting it rest on the roasting rack.
   • Return the brisket to the oven and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 150°F (65°C), about 1 more hour.
   • The meat will be well done yet still juicy from the slow cooking process.

6. Resting and Serving:

   • Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let the brisket rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
   • Trim off any excess fat from the brisket before slicing it thinly against the grain.
   • Strain and degrease the pan drippings to create a flavorful jus or gravy.
   • If the drippings are too salty or spicy, dilute them to taste with low-sodium chicken broth and water before using or freezing.

Tips and Serving Suggestions:

• This Marinated Beef Brisket is perfect for special occasions or weeknight dinners alike!
• Serve slices of the brisket with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables for a hearty meal.
• Leftovers can be used in sandwiches, tacos, or salads for a delicious twist on classic dishes.
• Make sure to save any leftover jus for dipping or drizzling over the brisket slices.
