Oven Barbeque Brisket
2 c ketchup
2 c water
1/2 c brown sugar
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 t Worcestershire sauce
1 T red wine vinegar
4 drops Tabasco
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1 beef brisket, about 4 pounds
Preheat the oven to 350°. Combine sauce ingredients and stir to blend well. Pour half of this sauce into a shallow Dutch oven, put brisket in the pan, cover, and bake for 2 to 3 hours. Pour the remainder of the sauce over the brisket, return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour, or until meat slices easily.
Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the brisket to a cutting board. Spoon the sauce into a large skillet. Slice the meat against the grain and put the slices in the skillet. Simmer until the sauce has thickened and the meat is fork-tender, about 1 hour. Serves 8
Note: This is best if made ahead, sliced and then returned to the sauce to be reheated. Briskets vary in thickness and the amount of fat, so the cooking times are approximate. Just make sure the meat is easy to slice tender, and cook the slices in the sauce until they are fork tender. |
