This is an authentic Texas dish from a good friend. The tangy sauce not only helps tenderize the meat but also provides fantastic flavor.—Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas
Ingredients:
1 cup ketchup
3 celery ribs, finely chopped
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon paprika
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
dash pepper
marinade:
2 tablespoons liquid smoke, optional
1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
2 teaspoons celery seed
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon each salt, garlic salt and onion salt
1 fresh beef brisket (about 5 pounds)
Directions:
1. For barbecue sauce, in a large saucepan, combine the first 13 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Strain sauce, discarding bay leaves and vegetable pulp; set aside.
2. For marinade, in a large resealable plastic bag, combine the Liquid Smoke if desired, teriyaki sauce, celery seed, pepper, salts and 1 cup reserved barbecue sauce. Add the brisket. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining barbecue sauce.
3. Drain and discard marinade. Place brisket on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil; seal tightly. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 325° for 3-4 hours or until meat is tender.
4. Remove brisket to a serving platter; let stand for 15 minutes. Reheat reserved sauce. Thinly slice meat across the grain. Serve with sauce. Yield: 10 servings.
