Instructions
Trim the brisket of excess fat and remove any silverskin.
Generously season all sides of the brisket with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
Place the brisket fat side down in a 13x9 baking dish.
In a small bowl whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, and liquid smoke.
Pour the mixture over the brisket, flip the brisket over to the fat side up, cover with foil and place it in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove the brisket from the refrigerator 1-2 hours before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Bake the brisket uncovered for 1 hour. Remove it from the oven and carefully wrap it in butcher paper. Reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F and cook for an additional 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 200-205 degrees F.
Remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
Cut the brisket across the grain of the meat and serve immediately.
Store the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
