Brisket is a treat for us, and is definitely best cooked “low and slow.” Once I found and tried this recipe from my hometown church cookbook, I was sold. Don’t be upset that there aren’t measurements for everything; just sprinkle it over the meat on both sides and call it good.
Barbecued Beef Brisket
- 6 lb. brisket
- 3 Tbsp. liquid smoke
- garlic powder
- onion salt
- celery salt
- pepper
- Worcestershire sauce
Sprinkle brisket with liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion salt and celery salt. Cover with foil. (I put mine in a Ziploc bag.) Let sit overnight. In the morning sprinkle with pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and bake 5 hours at 275°. Drain grease. Uncover and bake 1 hour longer with barbecue sauce*. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Either pull meat apart with a fork or cut in thin slices against the grain.
*Barbecue Sauce
- 1 c. ketchup
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. celery seed
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 c. water
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/4 c. vinegar
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
Ours was only about a 2 lb. brisket this time, so I cut the recipe in half. If you don’t have a 1/8 cup available, use 2 tablespoons. Four tablespoons = 1/4 cup, so 2 T. = 1/8 cup.
So, Amy, when are you gonna let me come for a visit so I can try out some of your delectable cooking? All your food looks simply scrumptious!
You know, I love brisket, but I’ve never made it. I think I need to try this! Thanks!
Your brisket sounds great, I’m gonna have to try it!
Also, I would like the “What to do with chicken in your kitchen cookbook” if I win
I am going to have to try your brisket sometime. It sounds wonderful. I would love the “Think Breakfast.. Outside of the box” ebook if I win. That is the meal I struggle with most with trying to get 4 kids out the door each morning.
Your meal looks delicious!!
Around here the main coarse for the holidays is just cooking a ham!
As for the ebooks, probably the kids in the kitchen or what to do with beef or chicken in the kitchen.
Thanks for hosting.
Merry Christmas!
I like the “In the kitchen” ebook from Heavenly Homemakers.
being a new comer to texas I always am on the look out for bbq and brisket recipes…thanks!
Thank you for your holiday dishes.
I would like the holiday hospitality pack-the one with a mom book and the children’s book.
Hi Amy, I’m actually visiting from 5 mins. for moms. I read your comment from the how much sleep is enough post. And I just wanted to say that I agree with you. Is it worth it? I would go nuts. With that said. I was looking at your beef brisket and wondering if that would work in a crock pot? It sounds delicious!
Blessings.
