🥘Ingredients

For the Marinade

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
2Whisk until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
3The marinade should have a smooth consistency with no lumps.
4Place the brisket in a large zip-top bag or a non-reactive container.
5Pour the marinade over the brisket, ensuring it is fully coated.
6Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
7The brisket should be fully submerged in the marinade and the marinade should turn a darker color as it absorbs the flavors of the brisket.
8Preheat your oven to 325°F.
9Remove the brisket from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
10Discard the remaining marinade.
11The brisket should be evenly coated with the marinade and have a glossy sheen.
12Place the brisket in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
13The brisket should be browned and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
14Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 160°F for medium doneness.
15Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
16This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
17The brisket should be juicy and flavorful, with a tender texture.
18Slice the brisket against the grain for maximum tenderness.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Brisket Marinade

1. What type of brisket works best for this recipe?

The flat cut of beef works best for this recipe because it’s more tender and easier to slice thinly. You can also use the point cut if that’s what you have on hand – just adjust the cooking time accordingly.

2. How long should I marinate the brisket?

For best results, marinate the brisket for at least 2 hours or overnight. The longer it sits in the marinade, the more flavorful it will be.

3. Can I use store-bought marinade instead of making my own?

While store-bought marinades are convenient, they often contain preservatives and artificial flavorings that we’d rather avoid in our recipes. Plus, making your own marinade allows you to customize the flavors to your liking.

4. What temperature should I cook the brisket at?

Cook the brisket in a preheated oven at 275°F (135°C) for about 3-4 hours or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

5. Can I make this recipe in a slow cooker?
