How to Make Grandma's 50 year old Smoked Beef Brisket Recipe In The Oven

beef brisket

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Pork shoulder is often less expensive and can be used for similar smoked dishes.

Day one: Wrap the beef brisket in foil and line a baking dish. Brush with liquid smoke, season with accent salt and black pepper, cover with foil, and refrigerate overnight.

Day two: Preheat the oven to 275°F. Place the brisket in the pan wrapped in foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours. Remove and refrigerate after cooking.

Day three: Slice the brisket thin using a meat slicer.

Prepare the barbecue sauce by combining 14 oz of ketchup, 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce, 1-2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce, more MSG, salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Bring to a boil.

Dip the brisket slices in the barbecue sauce or toss them in the pan with the sauce.

Return the brisket to the oven at 300°F, baking uncovered for the first half and covered for the second half for 2 to 3 hours.
