Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Select a high-quality brisket cut, ideally USDA Choice or Prime, ensuring good marbling.
  • Generously apply the Texas-Style brisket rub all over the meat and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to a low setting of 250°F (121°C).
  • Place the seasoned brisket fat-side up in the prepared pan and cook about 1 hour per pound.
  • When the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), wrap the brisket in foil or butcher paper.
  • Check for tenderness by piercing with a fork; it's ready when there's little resistance.
  • Let the brisket rest for about 30 minutes, covered loosely with foil.
  • Slice the brisket against the grain and serve.
