Ultimate Tender and Juicy Brisket

This recipe delivers the most tender, juicy, and soft brisket through slow cooking and careful seasoning. The brisket is infused with rich flavors and melts in your mouth with every bite.

Steps

1. Mix kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl.

7. Return brisket to the pan, add thyme sprig, and bring to a gentle simmer.
8. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat to low.
9. Cook brisket gently for 3 hours, turning once halfway, until it is fork-tender and juicy.
10. Remove brisket and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
11. Serve with pan juices and sautéed onions for maximum flavor.
