🥩 Easy 3-Ingredient Oven Brisket

📝 Ingredients

Ingredient Amount
Beef brisket, flat cut 3½–4 lbs, trimmed of excess fat
Condensed French onion soup 2 cans (10.5 oz each), undiluted
Dry onion soup mix 1 packet (1 oz)

🍲 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven Heat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Prepare Brisket Place brisket fat-side up in a roasting pan or deep 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. Mix Sauce In a bowl, whisk together condensed French onion soup and dry onion soup mix.
  4. Coat Brisket Pour mixture over the brisket, letting it run down the sides. Spoon any onion bits on top.
  5. Seal & Bake Cover pan tightly with heavy-duty foil. Bake 3–4 hours, until brisket is fork-tender.
  6. Rest Remove from oven and let rest, still covered, for 15–20 minutes.
  7. Slice & Serve Slice brisket across the grain (or pull into chunks if very tender). Return slices to the pan and spoon onion gravy over the top.

🌟 Notes

  • Resting keeps the meat juicy and easier to slice.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the gravy.
