BEEF BRISKET WITH MOP SAUCE
This tender brisket roasts in a sauce that adds great flavor. When one of our sons lived in the South, I learned that "mop sauce" is traditionally prepared for Texas ranch-style barbecues in batches so large it is brushed on the meat with a mop! You won't need that much brisket sauce for my recipe, but will get the big-time taste. -Darlis Wilfer, West Bend, Wisconsin

BRISKET WITH BBQ SAUCE
After growing up in West Texas for 30 years where barbecue is the best, I found this recipe which is so tender and absolutely delicious. Leftovers, if you have any, make really great sandwiches. You can increase the liquid smoke to 4 tablespoons for really smoky flavor.

Steps:

Tips:
- Select the Right Brisket: Choose a brisket with a good amount of marbling, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Trim the Brisket: Trim any excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the meat. This will help the brisket cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
- Season the Brisket: Season the brisket liberally with your favorite rub or seasoning blend. Be sure to get the seasoning into all the nooks and crannies of the meat.
- Smoke the Brisket: Smoke the brisket at a low temperature (225-250 degrees Fahrenheit) for several hours, or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Baste the Brisket: While the brisket is smoking, baste it with a mixture of water, apple cider vinegar, and your favorite BBQ sauce. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful.
- Rest the Brisket: 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 more tender and flavorful.

Brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to smoke it, braise it, or roast it, there are a few key tips that will help you achieve perfect results every time.
