- Transfer the browned meat to a roaster with a secure lid.
- Cook, covered, for approximately 2 hours (about half an hour per pound), or until the meat is fork-tender and yields easily.
- Let the brisket rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Store leftover sliced brisket in an airtight container with its juices in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
