- Preheat the oven to 325°F. - Season the brisket on both sides with the Essence and 1½ tsp of the salt. Then heat the oil in a large heavy skillet or large roasting pan over high heat. Add the meat and sear, turning once, until evenly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large roasting pan. - Combine the barbecue sauce, stock, and the remaining 2 tsp salt in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Pour the mixture over the brisket and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 2½ hours. Turn the meat over, cover again, and continue baking for another 2½ hours, or until very tender.
