Brisket can be served as a weeknight meal, or for a special occasion. It is significantly less expensive than most cuts of meat and if you have never cooked one before, it needs to be cooked slowly, at a very low temperature for around 3 to 4 hours in order to dissolve the tough connective tissues of the meat.

You can dress Brisket up with different veggies, or make a sandwich, the options are endless. When you roast beef brisket low and slow in the oven, you end up with meat that’s so tender and buttery, it practically falls apart. This oven-barbecued beef brisket recipe can be prepared for a barbecue party or a holiday feast.
