Oven Brisket With Stubbs Bbq Sauce Recipe Ingredient Quantities

• 1 (4 to 5-pound) beef brisket
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 1 cup Stubbs Original Bar-B-Q Sauce
• 1 cup beef broth or beef stock
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

How to Make this Oven Brisket With Stubbs Bbq Sauce Recipe

1. Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) to preheat.

2. In a little basin, mix the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Combine well to create the spice rub.

3. Evenly rub the spice mixture over both sides of the beef brisket, ensuring it is well coated. Let it sit at room temperature while you prepare the onion and garlic.

4. In a large oven-safe roasting pan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

5. Add the beef broth or stock to the pan with the onions and garlic. Stir to mix.

6. Position the brisket, with the fat side facing up, atop the onions. Evenly distribute 1 cup of Stubbs Original Bar-B-Q Sauce over the brisket’s top.

7. Tightly cover the Dutch oven or roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil.

8. Move the covered brisket to the oven, which should be preheated. Let it cook for approximately 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Your goal is for the brisket to be “fork-tender” when you check it. It’s okay to check it more often than the instructions suggest. If the brisket is in danger of drying out, just add a little more broth to the pan. You want the pan to maintain a certain level of moisture. Don’t overdo it, though.

9. When completed, take the brisket out of the oven, and allow it to remain at rest for a minimum of 20 minutes before cutting it into slices.

10. Cut the brisket with the grain and serve with the sautéed onions and extra Bar-B-Q sauce, if that is your thing. Enjoy!

FAQ

• Is it necessary to sear the brisket before baking?It is not necessary to sear the brisket, but it can enhance its flavor. If you have the time, sear the brisket in olive oil for 3 to 4 minutes per side before placing it in the oven to bake.
• Can this brisket be made in advance?Certainly, this brisket can be made two days in advance. If you store it in the fridge, you should be able to reheat it in the oven gently enough that it doesn’t lose tenderness on day three.
• What is the best way to slice the brisket?For tender pieces, always slice against the grain. This means, when you look at the finished piece, the lines that you see running parallel to the cut are the grain. It helps to think of the piece at a 90-degree angle to the direction of texture (the grain). Cutting against the grain is also what makes it easier to chew (as well as to digest).
• Can I use a different brand of BBQ sauce?Though Stubbs Original Bar-B-Q Sauce is recommended for its intense flavor, you may use any favored BBQ sauce brand instead.
• How can I make the brisket spicy?To up the heat factor, bump the cayenne pepper to 1 teaspoon and toss in a pinch of crushed red pepper.
• What if I don’t have beef broth?Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water in a pinch can be substituted, but beef broth will offer the best flavor.
• How long should I cook the brisket?Cook the brisket in the oven set at 300°F (150°C) for 3 to 4 hours. You will know it is done when it is fork tender.

Oven Brisket With Stubbs Bbq Sauce Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Replace kosher salt with sea salt in the same quantity.
Substitute white pepper for black pepper to achieve a milder taste.
Substitute garlic powder with 3-4 fresh garlic cloves, minced.
When a recipe calls for onion powder, you can substitute onion salt. However, when you do, be sure to reduce the amount of additional salt in the recipe since the onion salt will be introducing some saltiness.
Use regular paprika instead of smoked paprika if you prefer a flavor that is less smoky. Use it in the same way you would smoked paprika.

Pro Tips

1. Marinating Time: For deeper flavor, consider seasoning the brisket a day ahead and keeping it covered in the refrigerator to marinate overnight. This will allow the spices to penetrate the meat more thoroughly.
