Step by Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325. Heat the sesame oil in large skillet over high heat. Season the brisket with salt & pepper, then sear it in the skillet.

  3. Bake in the oven for 5 hours, then remove from the oven and let cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Line a fresh baking dish with foil, then transfer the brisket into it and wrap it tightly with the foil. Refrigerate overnight or freeze it for 3 hours.
  5. Strain the sauce and refrigerate it until ready to reheat the brisket.
  6. Remove the brisket from the foil and slice into 1/4 inch slices against the grain of the meat. Preheat oven at 325 degrees.
  7. Put the brisket back into the baking dish, skim the fat off of the top of the sauce and spread the sauce over the sliced brisket along with a bit of extra broth.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Serve with vegetables of choice.
