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.

01 Step
Recipe View Season the brisket generously on both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. For optimal results, place the brisket on an aluminum foil 'rack' over a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, for 8 to 12 hours. (Prep Time: 5 minutes, Marinating: 8-12 hours)
02 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (Prep time: 10 minutes)
