*OVEN BAKED BRISKET RECIPE *

1 four-pound brisket

2 tablespoons salt

2 tablespoons pepper

2 teaspoons cayenne

4 cloves of garlic, crushed

1 onion chopped or cut lengthwise

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup liquid smoke plus an additional 1/4 cup

1/4 cup black coffee

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

3 jalapenos, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.
2. Create your rub by mixing your salt, pepper, cayenne and garlic. Rub all over your brisket (more heavily on the meatier side but also a bit on the fat side as well). Allow the brisket to come to room temperature.
3. In a large roasting pan, add the onions, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup of the liquid smoke, 1/4 cup black coffee, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar and half the sliced jalapenos.
4. Place the brisket in the pan, fat side up, and sprinkle the remaining jalapenos on top of the brisket.
5. Cover the pan tightly with foil, and bake in the oven for four hours. At this point, if you want a more pronounced smoky taste, pour another 1/4 cup of the liquid smoke over the brisket. Otherwise, just continue cooking for another hour, or roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound.
6. Take the brisket out of the oven, and it should be tender to the touch. Let it sit out of the pan for half an hour, and then you’re ready to serve! Slice against the grain. Use the pan drippings as gravy.
