  14. **Rest the Brisket:** Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
  15. **Slice and Serve:** Slice the brisket against the grain. Skim off any excess fat from the sauce and serve the sauce on the side.
  16. **Enjoy!:** Serve and enjoy your delicious, fall-apart brisket!
