A tender and flavorful brisket recipe perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray.
Using foil makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Place the beef brisket into the prepared roasting pan.
Position the brisket fat-side up for better flavor distribution.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and warm water. Whisk until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
Pour the sauce mixture over the brisket, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Use a spoon to spread the sauce if needed for even coverage.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it in the oven.
Sealing the pan tightly helps retain moisture during cooking.
Bake the brisket for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until tender.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily.
Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist brisket.
