Texas Oven Roasted Beef Brisket

Texas Oven Roasted Beef Brisket

It’s darn near a requirement that if you live in Texas, you love a good beef brisket. At a minimum, if you don’t, you’ll get looked at funny at a family BBQ. I grew up in Southeast Missouri, where we had embraced the Memphis-style BBQ – mostly pulled pork with a sweet sauce. So, when I moved to Texas almost 17 years ago, I felt completely foreign due my taste in BBQ.  But, I’ve grown to love and appreciate this Texas treat, but really struggled to learn to cook it.  I’m not great with a bbq grill – that’s my husband’s forte. So, I recently started experimenting cooking briskets in the oven. After some mediocre results, I finally landed on a recipe combination that worked. It not only worked, but received rave reviews from my family – who are something of connoisseurs of Texas brisket. Many even said it tasted better than if it had been cooked in a smoker or on a grill. It was tender, most and each bit full of flavor! It’s the perfect recipe while the weather is cold if you have a hankering for brisket. Impress your Super Bowl party guests with this recipe – they’ll think you’re a BBQ genius!
