Recipe for Beef Brisket

Beef Brisket

My first introduction to a Beef Brisket was while I was visiting at a friends house.    She has put her brisket in the oven and while we were talking, the aroma started to slowly move through the entire home.  It was amazing!!  

Here is her recipe which  calls for a 5lb brisket.  I work with a smaller one and cut the ingredients in half.

You will need:    5 lb brisket

          2 pkgs onion soup mix

1- 64 oz kechup

garlic, fresh or powder

salt & pepper

1-2 tablespoons of liquid smoke

Place your glass dish or corning ware on cookie sheet.    Some use a foil roasting pan- no clean up  :) Add soup mix to dish and 2 cups of hot water and stir until soup dissolves.

Add garlic, salt, pepper and liquid smoke....stir well

Add 64oz bottle of ketchup, stir.   Fill bottle halfway with water and add to ketchup mixture.

Add brisket and make sure both sides are covered with the sauce.  Let sit overnight for best flavor.

Bake turning every 45 minutes making sure brisket remains covered with sauce  about 2-4 hours depending on desired texture.
