Ingredients
For the Brisket
- 4 lbs fresh beef brisket (trimmed)
- 1 bottle Italian salad dressing (for marinating)
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
For the Gravy
- Refrigerated drippings from the brisket
- Optional: flour or cornstarch for thickening
Instructions
-
Marinate the Brisket: Place the trimmed brisket in a large zip-top bag or dish, pour in the Italian salad dressing, and marinate for at least 1 hour, but up to 24 hours for maximum flavor. Make sure to turn it occasionally to evenly coat the meat.
🕰️ The longer you marinate, the more tender and flavorful the brisket will be. Just don’t forget to turn it!
-
Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). Place the marinated brisket fat side down in a 9x12 baking dish. Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the top.
-
Bake It: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to lock in all the moisture. Bake in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
-
Slice and Serve: Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. For the best slicing experience, cool the brisket in the refrigerator before slicing thinly against the grain. This ensures maximum tenderness with each bite.
🔪 Slicing against the grain is crucial for tender slices. Take your time here!
-
Make the Gravy: After refrigerating, skim the fat from the drippings. Use the drippings to make gravy by simmering with a bit of flour or cornstarch mixed in to thicken.
🍽️ A delicious homemade gravy will elevate this dish even further!
Tips & Variations
- Make-ahead Magic: This recipe is fantastic for meal prep. Making it one day in advance not only saves time but also lets the flavors meld beautifully. Just reheat before serving!
- Add Veggies: Consider adding carrots and potatoes to the baking dish for a one-pan meal. They’ll soak up all those delicious juices!
- Spice It Up: Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to the marinade, like garlic powder or black pepper for an extra kick.
Transform your dinner table with Judy's savory brisket, and watch your loved ones come back for second helpings! Enjoy! 🍽️🥳

Sure! Here’s the text from the image: --- **BRISKET** Marinate trimmed beef brisket (fresh, not corned) 4 lbs. or less in Italian salad dressing 1 to 24 hours, turning often. Place in baking dish 9x12, fat side down. Sprinkle one package Lipton onion soup; cover tightly/foil. Bake at 225° for 3-4 hours; remove; slice thin - against grain. It's better slicing cold. Refrigerate drippings; skim fat. Make gravy from drippings. Good to cook a day ahead. Judy Johnson --- Let me know if you need anything else!llm
