Notes

  • Cutting the brisket in half will make it easier to identify the two separate parts. Cut both against the grain when slicing.
  • See in-post instructions for how to store, freeze, and reheat brisket.
  • You can also use an Instant Pot to make this recipe. Cook for 1 hour on high pressure with 1 cup of water, and naturally release the pressure when done.
