For a richer flavor, consider searing the brisket in a hot pan before baking. If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last few minutes of simmering. Ensure the foil is tightly sealed to trap moisture and keep the brisket tender. Resting the brisket is crucial for allowing the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.

Apr 8, 2024My brisket was a little dry after the initial 1.5 hours. I added a bit more apple juice and it turned out perfectly!
