How long to cook a 10 lb brisket in the oven?

Texas Style Oven Brisket Recipe: A straightforward method for making smokey brisket with a zesty dry rub that can be prepared in the oven rather than a smoker. Enjoy with others!.

How to Cook Brisket in the Oven

Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the brisket and cover the roasting pan tightly with foil. Covering the roasting pan with foil makes sure that the smoke-scented steam circulates around the brisket while cooking.

If you have an oven with a built-in meat thermometer, run the wire out the side of the pan. If you are using a standard meat thermometer, insert it into the brisket, through the foil, so you can see the reading.

Slow Roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F. Then remove the foil and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 195-200 degrees F. Depending on your oven, and where you inserted the meat thermometer, this process may take 5-6 hours.

Do not be tempted to raise the temperature for faster cooking time, or your brisket will be very tough. Slow oven roasting allows the fats to break down gradually, tenderizing the beef, so it has a stretching juicy quality in the end.

Before serving, remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute evenly. If you can wait longer, that’s even better. Cover it loosely with foil to help retain the heat.

Slice the brisket thinly against the grain and serve it warm. Enjoy as-is, sauced, or on rolls!.

Just letting you know, Texas Style Oven Brisket is fantastic on its own, but it also goes great with this Creamy Ranchero Sauce!

Texas-Style Brisket for the Masses

Texas is renowned for its traditional brisket cooking method, which calls for a dry rub spice mixture and a protracted rest in an outdoor wood smoker.

In my opinion, the best brisket available is one that has been slowly smoked. It has thick chewy bark, pink smoke rings around each piece, and is tender and rich.

But since most people don’t have an outdoor smoking cabinet, we’ll have to rely on other methods to get the same effect.

Cooking A Small Beef Brisket In The Oven:

Due to all the connective tissue, cooking smaller briskets is more difficult. It’s difficult to cook a small piece of tough meat for a long time, so plan for leftovers and cook at least 4 pounds if you can.

After cooking, beef brisket must rest for at least 15 minutes under cover. Slice the meat against the grain when it has cooled.

To keep the brisket slices moist, re-cook them in some of the cooking sauce. The following day, it will absorb it again and be even better and more flavorful.
