This is simple comfort food that is easy to assemble, and uses a minimum of ingredients. What comes out of that oven is pure brisket heaven. I experimented with all kinds of spices and seasonings, and finally settled on two basic spices: Salt & Pepper… that’s it. I also wanted something that would flavor the brisket, and stand up to the long cooking time, and I decided on sliced yellow onions, and some garlic. Simple ingredients… Lip Smacking goodness. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
4 pounds beef brisket

1 large yellow onion, cut in half, pole-to-pole, and sliced

How To Make beef essentials: oven-baked brisket & onions

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Step 3

Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat the oven to 325f (165c).
Step 4

Add the sliced onions, garlic, and chicken stock to a large heavy-bottomed pot.
Step 5

Chef’s Note: The pot will need a tight-fitting lid, and be big enough for the brisket and other ingredients. A 6-quart (5.5liter) size is perfect.
Step 6

Salt and pepper the brisket on both sides, and add to the pot, fat-side up.
Step 7

Cover and place into the preheated oven, and cook until the brisket is fork tender, about 1 hour per pound.
Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 9

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 10

Slice thinly and serve with some of the onions, and cooking liquid. Enjoy.
Step 11

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
