Breathe and say it with me....Brisket.
Its incredibly delicious when you do it correctly. Its one of those meals you can put in the oven when you're expecting company for dinner and leave it there while you tidy up the house. Really, there's nothing to it.
So here's what I do. I get a brisket. I take out some season salt, onion flakes or you can slice up an onion and arrange it around the brisket. Garlic salt is nice, lots o' pepper. Basically any kind of spice you really like.
I preheat my oven to 250. You don't want to go over 250, a brisket is a cut of meat you want to cook on a low temp over a long period of time. I use a shallow baking pan or cookie sheet. Lay the brisket fatty side up, seasoned, in the baking sheet with about a 1/4 cup of water. I suppose you could use some broth if you want, I would be careful doing that though. Could make your meat really salty....and no one likes salty meat ;)
As I was saying....cover the brisket with foil, pop him in the oven and let him cook. A good rule of thumb is one hour per pound. When you take it out, it should fall apart when you look at it.
This is seriously one of my favorite cuts of meat to cook. Its incredibly tender and because most people are intimidated by cooking one, you'll be a rockstar at dinnertime!
Is good, no??
See what I mean???
