SLOW-COOKED, TEXAS-STYLE BEEF BRISKET



Slow-Cooked, Texas-Style Beef Brisket image

This slow-cooker recipe comes directly from the heart of a wonderful Texas cook who makes the best brisket in the world! Yay, Papa Louis! He shared it with me years ago, via my sister (his daughter-in-law). I change it from time to time by adding ingredients to make it more Mexican (serve it with tortillas), or leave it as is and serve it with fresh rolls.

LOW AND SLOW TEXAS OVEN BRISKET



Low and Slow Texas Oven Brisket image

For years R. B. could not stop falling for the latest food magazine pitch for perfectly smoked, tender beef brisket. Finally, after a twelve-hour ordeal of tending the fire and at least six episodes of wrapping and unwrapping and mopping, Min led him from the patio and into the kitchen and showed him around. Since that breakthrough, brisket is what's for dinner much more often. Whether you're cooking indoors or out, the brisket's best friend is heavy-duty aluminum foil to trap moist heat and smoke. R. B.'s reformed oven method for brisket is to wrap it once, tuck it in a warm oven, and go to bed. Who needs melatonin with the aroma of a brisket wafting through the house in the wee hours? Be prepared to wake up ravenous.

Yield makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
One 4- to 6-pound beef brisket with a layer of fat
3 to 4 tablespoons Cheater Chili Dry Rub (page 45)
1/4 cup bottled smoke
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • HEAT the oven to 250°F.
  • SCATTER the onion and garlic in the middle of a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to generously wrap around the meat. Lay the brisket on top and rub all sides with the dry rub. Pour the bottled smoke and Worcestershire over the meat.
  • SEAL the foil around the meat. Carefully place the foil pack in a large roasting pan. Roast the brisket for 7 to 9 hours, until the internal temperature is at least 190°F and the meat is pull-apart tender.
  • REMOVE the brisket from the oven. Open the foil and allow the juices to collect in the pan. Move the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it against the grain. Serve with the warm meat juices.
