Temperature and Cooking Time. Set the oven temperature at 300 or 325 degrees F, and allow about 60 minutes of cooking time per pound of brisket. For example, a typical 3-lb. plank brisket needs to roast for about 3 hours. Because a tip brisket is thicker, it will take longer to reach the safe internal temperature.
