Recipe View Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful brisket. (15 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider searing the brisket on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the roasting pan.
If you prefer a less sweet flavor, you can substitute beef broth for half of the ginger ale.
Leftovers are excellent in sandwiches or shredded for tacos.
