No Sleep Loss Brisket

Recipe by David Ong Pitmaster University

A two‑stage oven brisket that skips the overnight low‑and‑slow marathon. Cook the brisket low at 250‑275°F (120‑130°C) for a few hours, chill it overnight, then finish at 350°F (180°C) for a tender, juicy result—perfect for holidays or any big lunch without the early‑morning wake‑up.

Critical Success Points

  • Insert a reliable meat thermometer and monitor internal temperature;
  • Overnight refrigeration with brown paper is essential for the bark and to pause cooking;
  • Probe test with a satay skewer – the meat must offer virtually no resistance before removing from the oven.

Safety Warnings

  • Use oven mitts when handling hot trays;
  • Be careful with the hot meat thermometer probe – it stays hot after removal;
  • Avoid cross‑contamination: wash hands and surfaces after touching raw beef.
