Instruction

  • MARINATE THE BEEF BRISKET: In a pan large enough to hold the entire brisket, add the liquid smoke, vinegar, onion, and celery seed. Mix well.
  • Place the brisket in the pan and cover with enough water to cover HALF the brisket.
  • Cover the pan with aluminum foil, stick it in the refrigerator, and keep it there for 24 hours.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Remove the brisket from the refrigerator, and drain the liquid.
  • Place a baking rack inside a dish large enough to hold the brisket and bake for FIVE hours.
  • Remove the brisket from the oven and trim off the excess fat.
  • MAKE THE BBQ SAUCE: Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan.
  • Turn on the stovetop to medium heat and cook the sauce for 30 minutes.
  • FINIISHING THE BRISKET: Slice the beef brisket into thin slices and cover it with the BBQ sauce.
  • If the brisket is very tender, shred the meat instead of slicing it and use it for sandwiches. Top off your sandwich with coleslaw, dill pickles, onion rings, or potato chips... or add them all!
