Ingredients
  • 1 8 to 10 pound brisket (I used two 6 pound flat cut briskets)

  • 3 Lg onions, sliced
  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 Tsp salt

  2. Trim fat cap off brisket.
  3. Poke holes in brisket with paring knife, insert garlic slivers on both sides.
  4. Put brisket in baking dish/pan, bake until browned on top (about 30 minutes).
  5. Flip brisket over in dish/pan, bake until browned on that side (15-30 minutes).
  6. Reduce heat to 350.
  7. Add beef stock to come up 1 inch in dish/pan.
