Good meat takes time. Isn't that how the saying goes? Well, that's at least the official motto for this Oven-Baked Barbecue Brisket. After chilling in its savory spice rub and tangy sauce for hours, this slab of beef gets baked for even longer to create pure protein perfection. Totally tender, fantastically flavorful, and wonderfully worth it, you'll endure whatever it takes to enjoy this Oven-Baked Barbecue Brisket! It's almost too good to be true... but it's very real!
