Notes
You can also play around with the time and temperature for the brisket. Some say 225 and 1hr for each pound of brisket. The instructions in this recipe made some of the brisket fork tender but not all. I may have not cooked it long enough.
If you want the gravy thicker, you can add a little corn starch, about 1 tablespoon with 2 tablespoons cold water after you take the brisket out and mix in the gravy. Put back in the oven until it bubbles. Only a few minutes. Stir again.
