I was once a brisket novice, but now I cook up a dish with the taste of Texas. Thanks to a robust rub, the end result is a fork-tender cut with a crispy crust. —Audria Ausbern, Tahoka, Texas

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon pepper
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 fresh beef brisket (4 pounds), halved
1 tablespoon canola oil
1-1/2 cups beef broth
1 bay leaf

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°. Mix first seven ingredients; rub over brisket. In an ovenproof Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat; brown beef, one piece at a time, on both sides. Return first piece to pan. Add broth and bay leaf; bring to a boil.
Bake, covered, until beef is tender, 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 hours. Remove brisket from pan; keep warm. Discard bay leaf; skim fat from cooking juices. Cut brisket diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve with cooking juices.

Editor's Note

This is a fresh beef brisket, not corned beef.

I didn't have time to bake this so I used a slow-cooker instead. It was just okay. We added BBQ sauce to it when serving. I've had better brisket so I will not be using this recipe again even though it wasn't terrible. Just a taste thing for me.

No, this recipe didn't do it for us. Despite the fact it smelled great, it just didn't have much flavor. I used a 2.5 pound brisket but kept the measurements the same. I have much better and flavorful recipes for brisket I will stick with. Sorry!
