Texas BBQ Brisket

Large slab of beef brisket

Night before:

  • In roasting pan, place long strips of foil, enough to completely cover brisket.
  • Put brisket in fat side up.
  • Season:  I pour a little Worcestershire sauce over it, then some liquid smoke (since I don’t have a smoker).  Then rub spices in—whatever mixture you like.
  • Slice large onion and lay slices all over brisket.
  • Close up foil strips to tightly seal brisket.  If it is large, it may hang over.  You might want to put the roaster on a cookie sheet.
  • Cook overnight at 275.  At least 8 hours—until very tender.
  • Place entire roaster with brisket in fridge for the day.

An hour before serving:

  • Take brisket out of roaster.  Remove onions and grease.  Cut off fat.
  • Slice brisket thinly (electric knife really helps).
  • Arrange thin slices on large platter or in 11×13 bowl.  They can overlap some.
  • Cover with your favorite bbq sauce.
  • Cover dish with foil.
  • Heat in over at 350 for 30 minutes or until hot.

Serve with wonderful things like green beans and corn on the cob and cornbread.
