BARBECUE BEEF BRISKET



Barbecue Beef Brisket image

Many years ago, I found this recipe in a local ladies recipe booklet called, "Cornsilk." I have often used it to take to friends and family so they can reheat it and serve when needed. It freezes well, too. I try to use a brisket but does well with a boneless beef roast or bottom round roast. Serve with hamburger buns.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 4h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 -5 lbs beef brisket
1 teaspoon salt and pepper (to taste)
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon chili powder

1 dash liquid smoke

Steps:

  • Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in a covered roaster at 325 degrees for 3 to 4 hours or until tender; cool and refrigerate a short while for easier slicing.
  • Mix remaining ingredients together except for the lemon.
  • Cut off excess fat on roast and slice meat thinly. Cut across the grain.
  • Place layers of meat in a 9 by 12 casserole dish and top each layer with sauce. I usually get 2 layers of meat with a 5 pound brisket.
  • Put thinly sliced lemon over the top layer, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until heated through.
  • Remove lemon slices before serving.
  • This freezes well; thaw overnight and then reheat. I remove lemon slices before freezing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is the classic cut for barbecue, but you can also use chuck roast or short ribs. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Trim the fat: Before cooking, trim away any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a layer of about 1/4 inch. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Season the brisket: Once the brisket is trimmed, season it liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a rub or marinade to the brisket to give it extra flavor.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow: The best way to cook a brisket is low and slow. This will allow the meat to cook evenly and develop a tender, flavorful texture. Cook the brisket at a temperature of 225 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Barbecue beef brisket is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can cook a brisket that is sure to impress your friends and family. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned barbecue enthusiast, these tips will help you cook a perfect brisket every time.
