Why This Recipe Is So Tasty
Filled with rich flavors and tender meat that melts in your mouth. It brings a comforting, homemade feel to any meal and is perfect for special gatherings or a cozy family dinner.
Step 1
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, brown sugar, and meat tenderizer. Rub this spice blend all over the brisket, making sure to cover it well. Place the brisket on a baking sheet with the fat side facing up and pop it in the oven for about an hour.
Step 2
After that hour, take the brisket out and turn the oven down to 300°F (150°C). In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce and water, then pour this mixture into a roasting pan. Transfer the brisket from the baking sheet into the roasting pan and sprinkle the crushed pineapple evenly over the top.
Step 3
Cover the pan tightly with foil and put it back in the oven. Let it cook for another three hours, until the meat is nice and tender. When it’s done, take it out and let it rest for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef instead of brisket?

Can I make this recipe in a slow cooker?

Is the meat tenderizer necessary?
It helps break down the meat fibers for tenderness but can be omitted if preferred.
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, just drain the fresh pineapple well before sprinkling it on the brisket.
Should I baste the brisket while it’s cooking?
