Brisket is a cut of beef that has been around for centuries and has a long history of being a popular dish. The most common origin story of brisket is that it dates back to the Middle Ages, when beef was often cooked as a way to preserve it. As time went on, it became a popular meat to be served during festive occasions, such as weddings and other special occasions. In the United States, it is especially popular in the southern regions.
Brisket is made from the breast or lower chest of the cow, making it one of the tougher cuts of meat. This makes it ideal for slow cooking methods such as braising, smoking, or barbecuing. The slow cooking process helps break down the tough connective tissue, resulting in a tender, juicy cut of meat. The flavor profile of brisket depends largely on the seasoning and method of cooking used.
Today, brisket is widely available in grocery stores and butcher shops throughout the country. It can be purchased fresh, frozen, or already cooked, making it a convenient and delicious meal option. Additionally, brisket is commonly used to make dishes like corned beef and pastrami.
No matter how you choose to prepare it, brisket is sure to be a tasty addition to your next meal!

- Method: Oven or Smoker or Slow-Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1/2 cup butter
- 28 ounces of ketchup
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1–1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons chili powder
- 1–1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (I used 2 teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke (optional)
- 2 beef briskets totaling 5-6 pounds or one large 6 pound beef brisket (if you can find it)
Instructions
- Saute onion and butter in a heavy saucepan until tender. Add the next nine ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes until reduced to about 6 cups.
- Place the brisket in a roasting pan. Add 3 cups of sauce. Cover and bake at 250 degrees for 4-1/2 hours for two smaller briskets or until the meat pulls apart easily, basting occasionally. If you use one large 6 pound brisket bake at 325 degrees for 5-1/2 hours, covered. Skim any fat. Remove brisket and let rest for 15 minutes. Thinly slice the beef and pour remaining sauce from the pan and reserved sauce over the beef. Or throw the thinly sliced beef back into the roasting pan with the cooking sauce and add the sauce you reserved and completely coat the meat, then plate it up. It will be so saucy and so good.
- I haven’t tried it but I bet this would do well in a slow cooker.
