Brisket Injection
I always recommend injecting Beef Brisket just because it will give your meat more flavor and it will help to keep it moist during - and after - the cooking process.
Warm the water in a small sauce pan, add the beef base and whisk, then add the rest.
It doesn't have to be boiling but you want to get it hot enough to dissolve the beef base.
You can find the beef base at most grocery stores in the soup isle next to the chicken bouillon.
