Texas Oven Brisket

This is an excellent way to cook brisket. The result is tender, succulent and flavorful. And it's practically foolproof. The wonderful aroma will fill your house and make you, and anyone else who comes along, impatient for it to get done.

Ingredients:

4 to 6 lb. Fresh beef brisket, well trimmed
1 C Barbecue sauce (your favorite)
1/4 C Worcestershire sauce
1/4 C Liquid smoke (Colgin's is best)
1 T Garlic powder
2 t Celery salt
2 t Lemon pepper
1 t Salt
1 C Chopped onion
1/2 C Water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 275°F.

In a large Pyrex baking dish, thoroughly mix all ingredients for sauce. Put the brisket in the baking dish, and turn it over once to coat it with the sauce. Seal the dish with heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Bake at 275°F for 5 to 6 hours. Remove from oven and allow to stand for 1 hour before slicing. Slice across the grain, and serve with sauce. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Notes: This recipe works well with a 5- to 6-pound brisket. Be sure to use a Pyrex baking dish -- metal cooks too fast. Cook FAT SIDE UP so it cooks through the meat to keep it moist.

Great recipe, but when was the last time you saw a 4 to 6 pound brisket in a supermarket? Here in Miserable Gulch they grow em a bit bigger.

Best brisket I ever et involves the following procedure(s).

1) Repeatedly stab the fat and lean sides of the meat with an edged weapon.

2) Hand rub both sides with a few spices. Paprika, chili powder n, if mesa ain't available, lemon pepper will do.

3) Roll the slab up in foil, might want to poke a few more holes for good measure, n put it in the cooker. No need to go to Wally World for a cooker. A 55 gal drum with the bottom cut out sitting over stoked coals will do.

As for adding one's " favorite BBQ sauce" to the recipe, it just ain't genuine BBQ.

To each his/her own.

P.S. Thunk it fitting that WJC's parade got rained on.

The brisket was fantastic, the six of us ate almost all of the 8 pound piece of heaven.
