Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have a roasting rack, you can place the brisket directly on the bottom of the roasting pan. Just make sure to add a little bit of water to the pan to prevent the brisket from burning.
- If you want a more intense flavor, you can marinate the brisket in the barbecue sauce overnight before cooking.
- You can also add other ingredients to your brisket, such as onions, garlic, carrots, or celery.
- Let the brisket rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy brisket.
