Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
10 mins

In a bowl, thoroughly combine the salt, black pepper, paprika, basil, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder. Generously rub this spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring every surface is well-coated. (10 minutes)

03

Step
15 mins

Arrange the sliced onion rings in an even layer at the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the brisket, fat-side up, on top of the onion rings. Tuck the bay leaves around the brisket, nestling them amongst the onions. Pour the Guinness stout evenly over the brisket, allowing it to seep into the meat and onions. Cover the roasting pan tightly with a heavy oven-proof lid or a double layer of aluminum foil to create a sealed environment. (15 minutes)

04

Step
8 hrs

Place the covered roasting pan in the preheated oven and cook for 8 hours. The brisket is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). (8 hours)

05

Step
1 hrs

Remove the roasting pan from the oven and let the brisket rest, still covered, for 1 hour before slicing against the grain. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product. (1 hour)

For an even deeper flavor, marinate the brisket with the spice rub for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the refrigerator before cooking.
If you don't have a roasting pan with a tight-fitting lid, ensure the aluminum foil is securely crimped around the edges to prevent steam from escaping during cooking.
The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and the thickness of the brisket. Check the internal temperature after 7 hours and adjust accordingly.
The leftover braising liquid makes a fantastic base for a rich gravy. Simply strain the liquid, skim off any excess fat, and thicken with a cornstarch slurry.
Serve the sliced brisket with prepared horseradish, mashed potatoes, roasted root vegetables, or your favorite sides.
