Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 10 pound beef brisket (see note)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rosemary (dried, or 1 sprig fresh)
  • 2 teaspoons parsley (dried)
  • 1 teaspoon sage (dried, or 1 sprig fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried, or 3 sprigs fresh)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300ºF.
  • Place brisket in a large roasting tray (disposable ones work great).
  • Add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce around the brisket.
  • Sprinkle the herbs and spices on and around the brisket. Cover with foil.
  • Roast for 4-6 hours, about 1 hour and 20 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 195-200° F. Leave the foil on for the entire roasting period.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest, covered with foil still, for about 10 minutes.
  • Cut into slices (against the grain) or shred.

Notes

Scaling for Smaller Portions: If you want to make a smaller brisket, you can cut it in half and keep all the other measurements the same. 
High-Heat Searing Option: Some people start the brisket at a high temperature (400°F for 15-20 minutes) to develop a crust and then reduce it to 275°F for the rest of the cook.
Overnight Marinating Method: You can marinate your brisket overnight or even inject it with a brine or beef broth to enhance the juiciness and tenderness.
Dry Rub Variations: A simple dry rub of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder works wonders. Add other spices like paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, or cumin for a deeper flavor.
