Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 300°F. Place 3 lbs beef brisket in a large roasting pan fat side up and season with 1 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and 2 tbsp rice vinegar until smooth.
- Step 3: Pour half of the honey-sesame mixture over the brisket, coating it evenly. Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast for 3 hours.
- Step 4: Remove foil, baste the brisket with the remaining sauce, and continue roasting uncovered for 1 additional hour until the meat is tender and the glaze thickens, basting every 20 minutes.
