Description

This recipe has been passed down through my family for 4 generations and is a true Texas panhandle favorite. God bless!

Ingredients

  • 20 pounds Beef Brisket
  • 1 whole Texas Sweet Onion, Minced, Divided
  • 2 cloves (Large) Garlic, Minced, Divided
  • 8 ounces, fluid Worcestershire Sauce
  • 8 ounces, fluid Water
  • 3 dashes Liquid Smoke, If Baking In Oven
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • ⅛ cups Granulated Black Pepper, To Taste

Preparation

Place brisket in large roasting pan. Rub brisket with half of the minced onion and half of the minced garlic. Mix together the Worcestershire sauce, water, and liquid smoke. Pour mixture over the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, or whenever ready to cook, preheat oven, grill or smoker to 250ºF. Remove brisket from marinade and coat with brown sugar, pepper, remaining garlic and the remaining minced onion. If roasting in the oven, place in a roasting pan. If using a grill or smoker, place in the middle of the grill or smoker. Always put it in fat side on top. Cook for about 8 hours. Meat will be extremely tender and should be able to be pulled apart with two forks. Shred or slice meat against the grain.

Serve with Whitney’s BBQ Sauce (one of my other recipes listed on Tasty Kitchen). I pray you enjoy this recipe as much as I have through the years!

You can find Briskets in all sizes. When I buy them I buy enough to feed my family of 5 two meals and then usually freeze the rest. It makes for a simpler meal when the meat is already cooked. I usually figure on that each person will eat around a pound, the servings for me are a rough guess. I don’t usually figure the brisket by the serving if you cut this down to an 8 or even 10 pounder just cut everything else in half accordingly, including cook time. I hope it works out for you!

From my experience, Texans do know their brisket! But 20 lbs of brisket is a WHOLE lot of brisket! If I did half of that, do you think that the instructions would be any different?
