Why is my brisket tough?
With briskets and roasts, you may find that after cooking the meat is tough. This is most likely a result of under cooking the brisket. Simply adding in more time to cook the meat can give you the fall apart goodness that you want. The longer you cook the meat, the more it can tenderize and the easier it is to shred.

Oven Brisket Recipe FAQs
With brisket taking a while in the oven, it can be easier to plan ahead and make it in advance. As an added bonus of doing this, you not only make dinner easier by just reheating the meat, but you also get a more flavorful and tender cut of brisket as a result.
With the added time, your brisket can absorb more of the flavors and become even more tender when reheated. Store in an airtight container inside your fridge.
You can also store your precooked brisket inside your freezer if you’d like to prepare it much longer in advance. Or if you cook too large of a piece, after cooking, you can cut it in half and store that portion in your freezer for an easy-to-make future meal.
A brisket is going to take hours in the oven. It requires a long, slow, low-temperature cook time to breakdown all the connective tissues in the meat and make it tender. If you are following the recipe from the recipe card below, it should take about 6 hours depending on how large your brisket is.
Brisket should be cooked covered with foil. This will help trap the moisture in and further tenderize the brisket.
