My friend, not only will you be wasting your time, but a brisket as well.

For what you want, you need an eye of round, or a loin.

Brisket demands *long* cooking times, and rareness does not befit
it..........unless you're accustomed to eating jump boots.

A whole ribeye also fits the cooking description, but a brisket does not.
