Ingredients

4 to 5 pound brisket, covered with ¼ inch of fat
Kosher salt and freshly milled pepper
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 cups Chicken or Beef stock or canned low-sodium broth
Barbecue Sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325° F.
Let the brisket come to room temperature. Salt and pepper the meat. In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Brown the brisket, fat side down, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until a crust is formed. Turn and brown the other side.
Place the brisket in a shallow baking pan with the chicken stock and bake for 2 hours. Coat the brisket on both sides with half of the sauce. Return to the oven and continue to bake for 2 to 3 hours, or until tender.
Remove and let the brisket rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the remaining barbecue sauce.

I love brisket and this looks really simple, but I have a question about step 3. Seems like if I removed the brisket from the baking pan, brushed on BBQ sauce, and then put it back in the pan, the chicken stock would just wash the sauce off and dilute it. What am I missing?
