Oven Baked Barbecue Brisket

December 19, 2022

Oven Baked Barbecue Brisket is great recipe for an easy way to make tender, delicious brisket in the oven.

This oven-barbecued beef brisket will bake in the oven at a fairly low temperature for a long time. This slow cooking time is going to ensure that you will end up with a tender brisket. And in my opinion, the burnt ends are the best. When I was younger, my siblings and I used to use white bread to soak up all of the extra sauce. This is one of our family favorites, and it’s a great brisket!

Ingredients needed:

7 to 9 pound beef brisket
minced garlic
freshly ground black pepper
celery seed
ground ginger
bay leaves
tomato paste
soy sauce
Worcestershire sauce
onion
beer

How to make Oven Baked Barbecued Brisket:

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Tear off two large pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil (enough so that you will be able to completely enclose the brisket). Place the meat on the double sheets of foil and rub all sides with garlic.

Combine celery seed, pepper, ginger and bay leaves and sprinkle the spice mixture on all sides. Score the fat side of the brisket with a sharp knife.

Mix the tomato paste, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Rub all over meat.

Place the onions on top of meat. Wrap and carefully seal meat in foil (you’re going for the pressure cooker effect). Sealing it tightly is the most important thing. Place the wrapped brisket fat side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan (which will act as a drip pan), and cook for 4 hours.

Open the foil and expose onions covering the top; cook for an additional hour. At this point, it should be darn near fork tender. Remove BBQ brisket to a heated plate and keep warm.

Spoon out grease from the top of the sauce; put remaining BBQ sauce in a pan and reduce the liquid on medium heat. Then add the beer.

Place the whole barbecue beef brisket on a cutting board. I don’t know how this compares to a smoked brisket recipe made with the wood chips and everything, but this is one good cut of beef!

Slice the meat thinly diagonally on the grain, and top with the barbecue sauce. Thin slices are the best way to go. The layer of fat has probably mostly melted away.

It’s a good idea to have plenty of paper towels on hand for this BBQ beef brisket recipe. The sauce is wonderful, and it can get a bit messy! It’s a good recipe using this excellent cut of meat. Serve with your favorite potato salad.

Leftovers are wonderful the next day. Just store the sliced meat in an airtight container. Warm up and serve with more of that wonderful sauce. Enjoy!
