Recipe Notes
If you want to make this brisket 2-3 days in advance:
When Brisket comes out of the oven wrap it uncut with aluminum foil. Pour the sauce along with the onions into a plastic container and refrigerate both until ready to use
To serve, simply preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Slice the beef thinly against the grain, top with sauce and onions and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes.
