How to Make Oven Barbecued Beef Brisket

Time needed: 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Get ready for a great meal.  Preheat the oven with the rack in the upper middle position.  Then mix the ingredients for the spice rub and place bacon strips on the bottom of the pan.   Rub roast with spice mixture, transfer roast to the pan, top with bacon, and cook.  Then partially through cooking, flip the roast.  Once done with the cook time, let the roast sit in the warm oven.  Then discard the bacon and make the sauce with drippings and barbecue sauce.  Brush roast with sauce and broil.  Lastly let the roast sit, then slice, and serve with more sauce.  Yummy, yummy.

1. Preheat Oven.
   Place the rack in the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
2. Combine Spice Rub Mixture.
   In a bowl, whisk together all of the spice rub mixture ingredients.
   
   
3. Place Bacon Strips at the Bottom of the Pan.
   Use a 9×13 baking dish, and criss cross half the bacon strips over the bottom of the dish.
4. Prep the Brisket.
   Trim brisket so the remaining fat is ¼ of an inch.   Then with a fork prick the brisket all over.
5. Coat Roast with Spice Rub.
   Rub the roast with the spice rub.  Make sure it is completely coated.
   
   
6. Transfer Roast to Dish and Top with Bacon.
   Transfer the roast to the baking dish, having it sit on top of bacon, fat side down. Top roast with the rest of the bacon strips.
   
   
7. Cover and Cook.
   Cover with aluminum foil and cook.
8. Turn Roast Over and Continue Cooking.
   Remove dish from oven, flip the roast over, place foil back over roast. And return to the oven.
9. Turn Off Oven and Let Roast Sit.
   Turn the oven off, letting roast sit in the warm oven for approximately 1 hour.
10. Drain Juices and Discard Bacon.
    After 1 hour, drain juices off the roast and remove bacon.
11. Cook Sauce.
    Add drained juices to the BBQ sauce of choice, and heat in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes.
12. Brush Roast with Sauce and Broil.
    Turn the oven on to broil, and place roast back into the baking dish. Brush roast with some of the sauce.
    Broil until top is lightly charred and fat is crisp.

    Lastly, serve with remaining sauce.

Tips and Tricks for making Oven Barbecued Beef Brisket

Making this recipe is Eazy Peazy but here are some helpful tips and tricks for making this recipe…

• Don't Skip Letting the Roast Rest:  Letting the roast rest before slicing, let's the juices stay intact so you will have the most tender,  juiciest of slices.
• How Much Beef Is Enough?  ½ Pound Per Person: Plan on a half pound of uncooked meat per individual.  You can probably get away with less meat when serving kids.
• Stretch the Meal with Sides:  If you're worried you don't have enough meat, stretch a meal out with multiple sides like Mom's Dinner Rolls , Super Easy Mashed Potatoes, and Roasted Carrots.
• Make Yummy Leftover Sandwiches: Lucky enough to have leftovers?  Have a fancy lunch or easy dinner with some elevated sandwiches like beef brisket sandwiches or paninis.
• Cook Whole Brisket at Once: Even though a brisket can be big, do not break it into pieces to cook.  It won't be as juicy and tender cooked that way.

Make Ahead and Storage

• Follow directions like normal.
• Store brisket in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Place brisket slices in foil when ready to reheat.
• Reheat foil wrapped slices in the oven at 350 F for about 15-20 minutes.

Freezer Option:

• Freeze brisket in sauce for up to 2 months in the freezer.
• Wrap meat first with plastic wrap and then put in an airtight container.
• Defrost in the fridge and follow heating instructions from above.

Made ahead or fresh, I can't wait for you to try this recipe!

Serve it on Brown Butcher Paper with white bread, pickles, potato salad, and sliced onions for a typical brisket dinner!
