How to Make 24 Hour Brisket

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
  2. Place a 3-4 lb brisket in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
  3. Pour 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee over the brisket. Seal the pan tightly with foil or use a lid and bake for 24 hours.
  4. Remove brisket from oven. Carefully scrape off excess fat and discard.
  5. Discard all liquids and fat from the roasting pan.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together your favorite BBQ sauce (about 1 cup) and pour it over the brisket. Return to the oven and bake for another hour.
  7. Remove from oven and let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket.
  8. To freeze: Let the brisket cool completely, then slice and place in a rigid, freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  9. To reheat: For best results, reheat sliced brisket in a skillet over medium-low heat. You can also reheat in a microwave on high in short bursts until heated through.
