How to Make Beef Brisket

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place a 3-4 pound beef brisket in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the brisket, ensuring it's fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Transfer the brisket and marinade to a large oven-safe dish or roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil.
  4. Bake for 4-5 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender and easily shreds. Internal temperature should reach 195-205°F (90-96°C).
  5. Remove from oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before shredding. Using two forks, shred the brisket into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded brisket to the pan with the cooking liquid and stir to combine.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
