Carnivore Diet Oven-Baked Beef Brisket

Updated: Apr 14, 2022

Here's how to make the perfect mouth-watering oven baked brisket. This recipe is carnivore diet, lion diet, and keto diet approved (but can be enjoyed by all).


A really good brisket can rival a steak any day (and that's saying something coming from someone that goes by "Ribeye Rach", haha). The best part about it is that brisket is so affordable. In the USA, you can often find it on sale for $3-5/lb. It's a win-win!



I'm on a mission to prove that you don't need sugar, spices, or barbecue sauce to make meat taste great. It's difficult to find recipes that don't include additives, so that's why I created this blog to share carnivore-friendly recipes.


Oven-Baked Beef Brisket


Ingredients


  • 3-4 lb Beef Brisket (the recipe can easily be adapted for a larger brisket)

  • Redmond's Real Salt

  • Water


Instructions


  1. Preheat Oven to 275 degrees

  2. Put brisket in a large pan

  3. Salt brisket generously on all sides (either fresh or frozen) and put it into the oven

  4. Fill a 8x8 glass dish with water (about half way) and place on the rack underneath the brisket. This step is essential for keeping your brisket moist and tender!

  5. Bake your brisket until it reaches the desired temperature/tenderness (typically between 5-8 hours). If you're cooking from frozen, it will take longer than a fresh brisket. After it reaches 165 internal temperature, you can cover with aluminum foil to speed up the process (but this is completely optional). I typically like the internal temperature of the brisket to be around 205 (it starts to become very tender around 195-205). You can check the temperature of your brisket with a meat thermometer. The cooking time for brisket greatly varies depending on thickness/size.

  6. Take out of the oven, cover and let rest for a minimum of 20 minutes, and up to 2 hours. We often let our briskets rest in a small cooler.

  7. Slice and devour!

*I don't trim any fat off of my briskets. In fact, its my favorite part of the brisket! If you'd like to trim the fat, you can. But I'd recommend trying it without trimming, especially if you are looking to up your healthy fat intake.


Histamine Intolerance Tips


For those of you with histamine intolerance, you may want to cook your brisket at a higher temperature to shorten the cook time. The longer you cook it, the higher in histamine the meat will be. The brisket will be tougher if you cook it for shorter periods of time at a higher temp versus if you cook it low and slow. But it will still taste good!


Another option is to cook it in the pressure cooker. I have a great recipe for that here.


I use unaged beef from White Oak Pastures (use "RIBEYERACH" for 15% off), Northstar Bison, or BillyDoe Meats and that makes a big difference in my reactions. Store-bought beef is typically aged for around 30 days, which can definitely be problematic for really sensitive people.


Don't give up on healing your histamine intolerance, but of course be very careful if your reactions are severe. Things like meditation, eating outside, and reducing stress/anxiety can greatly reduce reactions (as our bodies produce histamines, too).



Hope you love your brisket! Let me know how it goes in the comments below.

Spring link Drive has charmed and perplexed link traditional-minded watch enthusiasts link for over two decades. Its idiosyncratic approach exists as its own entity – one that has gradually become more well-known over the past decade, once Grand Seiko bailed on its strictly domestic purview and officially launched internationally in 2010.

I also encourage all of us to continue learning about what makes each brand and maker special instead of lumping labels and expectations on the category as a whole. link Some specialize in finissage, some specialize in working with new materials, and others in traditional manufacturing. Not every independent brand has to be everything to everyone, link and I link think we forget that sometimes.

In some link ways, I became jealous of her relationship to the watch. This was her one watch, and she wore it link everyday. I have always wanted to be a one-watch guy, but I've been sucked too far down this rabbit hole at this point. Maybe if I tried hers on, I would know the feeling. But she link wouldn't let me!

This was so good. It was my first time making it and I was unsure about how to make it. My first instinct was crock pot, then instapot, then went to Google. 😆 I found your recipe and was so pleased with how it turned out! My husband enjoyed it, too. I didn't cover it until it reached 205°, and I let it sit a little longer than 20 minutes (waiting for hubby to get home). It was perfect and I think I may have more for breakfast today!

This brisket recipe is so easy and tastes fantastic. Thank you, Rach!! I use it often and it's a huge hit at our house, as are many of your other recipes, most of all the ice cream.
