A delightful twist on a classic brisket recipe, featuring a tangy cranberry glaze.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking throughout the brisket.
Place the brisket in a roasting pan.
Ensure the brisket is trimmed of excess fat for a leaner dish.
Sprinkle the garlic powder and onion soup mix evenly over the brisket.
Rub the seasonings into the meat for enhanced flavor.
Spread the cranberry sauce over the brisket, ensuring it is well-coated.
Use a spatula for an even spread of the sauce.
Pour the water around the brisket in the pan.
Adding water prevents the brisket from drying out during cooking.
Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
Check the brisket halfway through to ensure it is cooking evenly.
Remove the brisket from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.
Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the cranberry glaze.
Slicing against the grain ensures tender pieces of meat.
