I'd season it now for cooking tomorrow (you'd want to allow a good 6-7hrs to cook). If you've got some fancy Texas spice rub, go nuts. More often than not, I just use liberal amounts of salt & pepper. Tomorrow about 8hrs before you want to serve, I'd preheat the oven to 110⁰C. In a roasting pan I'd lay a couple of sliced onions before adding the brisket. The onion just stops it touching the bottom of the pan & burning/dying out. It'll sweat for the first few hours but it should be starting to brown somewhere between the 3rd & 4th hour. By the 5th hour it should start to look appetising & ready but it's not, it'll still be really tough. The safest bet is to cook it for a long time & mitigate the chances of it drying out (a particular problem with the brisket flat). At hour 5 you can think about covering it with the lid or foil. This keeps the moisture in but will also stop the bark/brown outside developing further. Adding half a cup of water now will also keep it moist. I'd want to go at least 7hrs straight but every oven is different.

The flat is the leanest part of the brisket, so most prone to dying out. A foolproof way would be to season & lay on bed of sliced onions/root vegetables. Fill with enough stock to cover the lower third of the brisket (250-400ml). Cover & check back in 5-6 hrs. Remove cover to reduce the liquid & top up with stock or water of it dries out. Put jt in the oven at 110⁰C & cook slowly for 8 hrs. This is essentially what people did before crock pots & slow cookers.

Well said! I like to brush periodically with tallow (or butter) for some additional moisture lock with a kick of flavor. 👨‍🍳’s 💋
