Oven Brisket Recipe FAQs
You will first cook the brisket uncovered for one hour. Next, wrap the brisket in butcher paper and cook it for another three hours until the internal temperature reaches 200-205 degrees F. Each oven heats differently, so it will take three to five hours to cook the brisket in the oven.
I recommend wrapping the brisket in butcher paper to achieve the best results.
Brisket is naturally a tough cut of meat. When it is cooked on low and slow, it becomes incredibly tender.
