BRISKET WITH BBQ SAUCE
After growing up in West Texas for 30 years where barbecue is the best, I found this recipe which is so tender and absolutely delicious. Leftovers, if you have any, make really great sandwiches. You can increase the liquid smoke to 4 tablespoons for really smoky flavor.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Trim the brisket before cooking: Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer of fat on the surface. This will help to prevent the brisket from becoming too greasy.
- Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what will give the brisket its flavor, so be sure to use a blend of spices that you enjoy. A good rub for brisket includes garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cook the brisket low and slow: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly over low heat in order to become tender. The ideal cooking temperature for brisket is between 200 and 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the brisket rest before carving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Spiced brisket with leeks and dried apricots is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The brisket is cooked low and slow until it is fall-apart tender, and the leeks and dried apricots add a touch of sweetness and acidity that perfectly complements the beef. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also relatively easy to make. So next time you are looking for a special dish to serve, give spiced brisket with leeks and dried apricots a try.
