For an even richer flavor, consider searing the brisket in rendered bacon fat instead of olive oil. Adding a bay leaf or a sprig of rosemary to the roasting pan can enhance the aromatic profile of the dish. Don't discard the pan drippings! They make an incredible gravy. Simply strain the sauce after the brisket is cooked, skim off any excess fat, and thicken with a cornstarch slurry if desired.

Dec 21, 2024The cooking time was spot-on for me. My brisket was perfectly tender after 2 1/2 hours in the oven. Will definitely make this again!

Nov 28, 2024This recipe is a keeper! I added a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce for a little extra tang, and it was a hit.
