It is not very difficult to bake the brisket in the oven, but in order to make it juicy, tasty and fragrant, it is recommended to pre-soak it in the marinade. Also, meat on the bone is best done in the sleeve, otherwise it will be too fried.

The process of processing a meat product
Before baking the brisket in the oven, it should be carefully processed. To do this, rinse the meat in cool water, and then remove from it all unnecessary elements in the form of various wreaths, films and veins. After this, the product can be cut into portioned pieces by bone. However, most housewives still prefer to bake the whole breast in the oven. This will allow serving it to the festive table along with vegetables on a large common dish.
Marinade process
As mentioned above, pork brisket baked in the oven turns out to be much juicier and more aromatic if it is pre-soaked in sauce. To prepare the marinade, you need to take a small bowl, put there medium-fat mayonnaise, tomato paste, table salt, shredded greens, grated garlic, seasoning for meat, paprika, and also squeeze half a lemon. After this, all products should be mixed, immediately coat them with previously processed pork belly.
It is worth noting that there is no need to wait until the meat is saturated with marinade, because we will bake it in the sleeve, which means that the product will be prepared in its own juice.
Dish formation
To bake the brisket in the oven, it should be carefully placed in the cooking sleeve. Then the bag must be tightly tied and put on a baking sheet or any other dishes. At the same time, it is recommended to make small punctures on the upper part of the sleeve with a fork or knife so that it does not swell during the heat treatment.
How to bake brisket in the oven
Such a simple but very tasty dish is made within 50-55 minutes. But this is provided that you put the sleeve with the meat in a preheated oven. Over time, the pork belly in the sleeve should be removed and then a small incision made on its surface, through which it will be possible to try the dish not only for taste, but also for preparedness. If the meat is soft, then it must be removed and put on a dish.
Proper serving
The pork belly made in the oven should be served for dinner only in a hot condition and together with a side dish. To do this, you can make mashed potatoes, stewed vegetables, boiled rice and pasta. It is also worth noting that the broth, which gathered in the sleeve, can be used as aromatic gravy.
