Easy Braised Brisket

Easy to put together, and really easy to eat. Make sure you buy a large brisket so you have some left over for sandwiches.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 Cups of your favorite BBQ sauce (like Sweet Baby Ray’s)
  • 1/2 Cup yellow mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 Teaspoons paprika
  • 1½ Teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1½ Teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 Teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 Teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon salt
  • 1 Teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 3-4 pound beef brisket, trimmed of all excess fat
  • 1 cup of water

Or use your favorite dry rub like Rudy’s Texas Rub mixed with an equal amount of light brown sugar.

Directions:

Mix all the dry ingredients for the brisket in a separate bowl. Rub on the brisket and let the meat absorb the flavors for at least one hour. Over night in the refrigerator is best.

Heat the oil in a large roasting pan and brown the brisket on both sides. Add 1/2 cup of the water and about half of the BBQ sauce. Cover tightly and transfer to a 325° F oven for 2½ to 3 hours. Remove meat and let it rest.

Place the roasting pan on top of the stove, and add the remaining 1/2 cup of water and turn on medium heat. Scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Add  the remaining sauce to the pan. Bring to a boil and reduce until it’s rich and thick.

Slice the meat across the grain and serve the sauce on the side.
