My friend, maribeth, wants to surprise Joe with a barbeque this weekend and asked if I had a simple, really tasty recipe to share. OK. This is a Texas recipe that I have pulled out of my Wranger PBRs on many occasions and produced on relatively short notice - and there is usually absolutely none left by party's end.

This is not fancy, it is down and dirty, as they say, and sometimes you need that. But I have found it a fail-safe crowd pleaser that leaves a ton of time to gather all the sides for a super BBQ party. And make sure the cervezas are chilled!

Not every recipe is an amazing feat of magic. But this definitely will disappear and you will have a back-40 full of happy buckaroos.

  • I've broken this down for 'home' use. Depending on the number of guests, you are safe to do the math and increase the recipe, as needed. Start preparing this 2-3 days prior to the party. This recipe will require 2 overnights. Message me if you have any questions.
  • 1 - 3 to 4 lb beef brisket
  • 1/2 C good soy sauce (or gluten-free teriaki sauce)
  • 1/3 C dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp mesquite liquid smoke (preferably the Schnizius brand) - I know, it smells like creosote, but go along with me on this, it works
  • Combine the above well with a whisk

Direcciones

  1. Put the brisket in the zip lock Do NOT use one of those oven bags to marinate the meat - it may fall apart later in the game
  2. Marinate the brisket in the ingredients in a heavy duty ziplock, in a bowl
  3. DAY 1: Put the bag o' marinating meat into the refrigerator overnight. Give the bag a slosh when ever you can and turn the bag over a couple of times while you are awake
  4. DAY 2: Marinate all day long, then, at bedtime, turn the oven on 200 degrees and carefully transfer the meat and then the marinade into a heavy-duty, large enough oven roasting bag - like for a huge turkey, because they are the strongest
  5. Cook it at 200 degrees all night long (that is 10-12 hrs)
  6. DAY 3: Party Day - empty the slow-cooked brisket(s) into the appropriate-sized roasting pan, along with all the marinade & juices (then throw the zip lock bag away)
  7. Carry the roasting pan to the fire (moderate flame) if a grill, or across 2 burners on the stove (equal sized flames - just under medium)
  8. Heat the dish up and, using the grill fork, begin to pull the brisket apart. You are looking for what I will lovingly call "stringy beef", where basically the meat falls, or is pulled completely apart and is all coated with the greatly reduced sauce you marinated the brisket in. This is your completed E-Z TX BBQ!
  9. The BBQ Brisket is done when all the meat has been pulled apart and most of the liquid is absorbed, or thick and saucy
  10. Serve on heavy (like a kaiser) rolls and use tongs to serve the meat, one tong's-worth to a cowperson...
  11. Have a party!

    In a word (oops WORDS) SCRUMPTIOUS, MOUTHWATERING LIP SMACKING, GOOD!!! This was well worth the effort gone into preparing this Brisket, by far the best I have made or tasted. I was thrilled I decided to triple this recipe so there was enough to go around! Much like the San Antone Black Bean Salad I paired with this there were no left over’s to be had. I had to make a smaller batch for my family the following week due to my husband wanting to make sandwiches with the none existent left over’s from the B-day BBQ we had. Once again I bow to the master thanks Amos-MBC

        MBC - I am glad to hear you 10 got the message to get the recipe (hope you didn't mind my mentioning you), and, 20 are following through. I will be anxious to hear how it goes, but this has always been a tried and true BBQ and I have fed as many a 60 folks at a time with it and never had anything by compliments. The soy sauce breaks down and flavors the meat and the sugar sweetens it, especially toward the end, when you put it over the fire to pull it aprt and the sugar sort of caramelizes a bit. The mesquite smoke will make it seem like you cooked the dish over a Texas campfile for hours. I actually do use mesquite chips alot for cooking/smoking, especially beef. Mesqite adds a touch of saltiness which complements the brown sugar perfectly, I think. I got this recipe about 25 years ago from a rancher in west Texas, and have never had to alter it. So good luck and have fun and good eating! - your friend, Amos (by the way, I usually serve a Texas baked bean recipe I developed from a Ft. Worth trip, so if you are so inclined you can keep it simple and buy a couple of really large cans of regular baked beans - I would suggest Bush's - an add some diced jalapenos, maple syrup, some prepared mustard, a shot of A1 sauce and a dash each of worchestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce. Just add some, taste and adjust. But this salty-sweet brisket will play nicely off a zesty bean dish. Or you can just follow my San Antone Black Bean Salad recipe on CES - that is always a crowd pleaser and looks beautiful in a big bowl. And do an American potato salad to mellow the other, more complex flavors out - just add some diced sweet onion, diced celery and dice some sweet red pepper. An, if noone is allergic, bind the potato salad together with 3/4 mayo and 1/4 Miracle Whip) Hey - maybe I better put some of the se ideas on the site!
