I have a first cut brisket that got a little too comfortable in the freezer, so I don't think it would work well as is. How would I prepare it so that it can be sliced into view size pieces? How long to cook it for and at what temp?

Not as a steak. But can be sliced and baked low and slow as you would minute steak. Or can be cubed to make a delicious stew.

I don't want it to fall apart. Planning to make lo mein for Shabbos and this is what I found in the freezer.
Is that possible?

I don't really think that would work because you'll need to cook the brisket low and slow, which is not how you cook lo mein. And you really do want to cook the meat in the sauce/with the veggies, etc. And even if you cook the brisket separately, once the brisket is cooked, you won't really be able to slice it into the size you want for lo mein.

Brisket is a tough cut; preparing it the way you prepare steak will leave you with shoe leather, which is fine if you're preparing it for your dog or for people who are training their jaws for the All-Texas rawhide-chewing competition. For everyone else, ~~there's Mastercard~~ brisket needs long, slow cooking to break down the tough fibers, in water or a sauce so it doesn't dry out from all that long, slow heat.
