4–6 lb beef brisket (flat, point, or whole packer cut)

🔥 Method 1: Oven-Roasted Brisket (Easy Indoor Version)
🕰 Total Time: ~6–8 hours (mostly unattended)
Instructions:
-
Prep the Brisket:
-
Pat the brisket dry.
-
Generously salt all sides.
-
Let it sit at room temp for ~30 minutes (optional but improves results).
-
-
Sear for Flavor (Optional):
-
Sear brisket in a hot pan with beef tallow until browned on all sides. Optional but adds a crust.
-
-
Slow Roast:
-
Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
-
Place brisket fat-side up in a roasting pan or Dutch oven.
-
Add 1/2 cup water or beef bone broth (optional) for moisture.
-
Cover tightly with foil or a lid.
-
-
Cook Low & Slow:
-
Roast for 6–8 hours, depending on thickness.
-
Internal temp should reach 200–205°F (93–96°C) for shreddable texture.
-
-
Rest:
-
Let rest covered for 30–60 minutes before slicing against the grain.
-
🔥 Method 2: Smoked Brisket (Classic Style)
-
Salt generously.
-
Smoke at 225°F (107°C) over indirect heat for ~10–14 hours.
-
Wrap in butcher paper once internal temp hits ~165°F (74°C) to retain moisture.
-
Finish smoking until it hits 203°F (95°C) internal.
-
Rest at least 1 hour in a cooler or wrapped in a towel before slicing.
🍽 Serving Suggestions (Carnivore Style):
-
Spoon rendered fat or tallow over slices.
-
Serve with beef bone marrow, poached eggs, or seared liver for nutrient density.
-
Save the juices to sip or use as “gravy.”
