Cooking 2 Pounds of Brisket in the Oven
There is nothing more satisfying than when you cook a delicious brisket in just the right way. Whether you are cooking for your family or for a special occasion, it pays to learn how to cook it right. Cooking a two-pound brisket in the oven is no small task, but with these tips and tricks, you can make sure that your guests will be delighted.

The first step to making a perfect brisket is selecting the right cut of meat. Make sure you purchase a cut of beef with enough fat marbling to ensure it will stay juicy throughout the long cooking process. Trim any excess fat from the outside of the brisket and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.

Next, it is important to prepare the oven for the cooking process. Pre-heat your oven to 225-degrees Fahrenheit and place the brisket on a rack over a roasting pan, fat side down. Pour a cup of beef stock or water into the roasting pan and cover with a lid or tightly-aluminum foil. Place in the middle shelf of the oven and allow the brisket to cook for 10 hours, checking every two hours to make sure the liquid has not completely evaporated.

Once the brisket has cooked for 10 hours, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows all of the flavors to marry and helps to keep the brisket juicy and tender. Slice the brisket against the grain and serve. Enjoy!

Cooking a two-pound brisket in the oven can seem intimidating, but it’s actually quite simple. Choosing the right cut of meat and watching the oven temperature carefully will guarantee a juicy and flavorful serving of brisket. Now that you know how to do it, go ahead and impress your guests with a tasty home-cooked meal.
