Oven Brisket

• 0.5 lb brisket flat
• 0.38 tbsp coarse salt
• 0.25 tbsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix salt and pepper. Coat the brisket heavily on all sides. Let sit 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Oven to 225F. Place fat side up on a rack over a sheet pan.

3. 3

   Bake uncovered 8-10 hours. Start checking at hour 8. It is done when a probe slides into the thickest part with no resistance (internal 203-205F).

4. 4

   Wrap in foil or butcher paper. Rest in a cooler or turned-off oven for 1 hour.

5. 5

   Slice against the grain in pencil-thick slices. The grain changes direction in the point if you have a whole packer cut.
