Texas-Style Oven-Baked Beef Brisket

Ingredients:

• 1.8 kg prepared beef brisket
• 1.5 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp. chili powder
• 2 tbsp. salt
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp. ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 2 tsp mustard powder
• 1 chopped bay leaf

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
   
   Prepare a dry rub of chili powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sugar, mustard powder, and bay leaf. Rub the mixture over both sides of the raw brisket. Place in a baking dish and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour.
   
   Pour beef broth into a baking dish and add water to a depth of 1.5 cm. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F), cover the dish tightly, and continue cooking for 3 hours or until the brisket is tender.
   
   Trim off any fat and slice the meat thinly across the grain. Pour the juices from the pan over the meat and serve.
