Roasted Beef Brisket

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Pat the 2 lb beef brisket dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 4

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the brisket until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 195°F, about 2.5 to 3 hours, and the meat is fork-tender.

Step 6

Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
