Recipe of the day

Fatty Beef Brisket Oven Method

Ingredients:

Food Mall: Beef Brisket

10 - 12 pound Fatty Beef Brisket

garlic powder
onion powder
cracked black pepper
kosher salt
any dry spices that you like on beef

Instructions:
1. First preheat oven to 400 degrees. Select a Untrimmed Beef Brisket with large fat cap.Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.

2. Season (or not) on both sides of Brisket. Use garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cracked black pepper, kosher salt. Just put the spices you like. Put a generous amount on both sides and pat the spices down with your hands.
3. Line a roasting pan with heavy duty foil. Place brisket fat side up.Then seal the top of the pan on all four sides with foil. Crimp down on edges. Do not poke holes in the foil.

4. Place roasting pan in the center of the oven rack and cook for 3 hours.Do Not open the oven at all during this time. Not Once! Just set the oven timer or other alarm for 3 hours and chill out for awhile. When the alarm goes off, remove the entire package out of the oven and let it rest for at least 2 hours. Important: DO NOT OPEN PACKAGE AT THIS TIME. Let it rest in peace.

5. Open the package up and cut sections that can handle and use the meat clever and cut the meat into cubes. Place all the cut meat into a large plastic container, then pure all the juices and tallow into the container and to let it marinade. Brisket will dry quickly once cut. So the juices and tallow play a big part.
