How Ree Drummond Makes Brisket So Tender It Falls Apart (Without A Smoker) - Tasting Table
Briefly

Braising brisket involves simmering it in stock and liquid smoke to create tender meat easily without a smoker. The braising liquid, composed of beef consommé, lemon juice, soy sauce, and garlic, infuses flavor. Liquid smoke, used sparingly, provides a barbecue aroma. After marinating, brisket is cooked at 300 degrees for 40 minutes per pound, yielding soft, unctuous meat while maintaining its moisture and rich flavor. While it won't have a distinct crust or smoke ring, the braised brisket retains a deep flavor profile.
