3-Day Barbecued Marinated Beef Brisket

Yes, this takes three days to make, but it is well worth it. It is actually not cooked on a barbecue grill, although I suppose you could do that also. But it tastes like real slow-cooked barbecue! The preparation time listed is just the total of the three steps, and does not include full days.

• Ready In: 4 hrs 35 mins
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup liquid smoke
• 1⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄4 cup condensed chicken broth or 1⁄4 cup  strong  beef consomme
• 1  tablespoon  finely minced garlic
• 1 (19 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (I am partial to Sweet Bay Ray's)
• 5  lbs beef brisket, fat trimmed

Directions

1. First day: Combine liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, beef concentrate, garlic and 1 cup barbecue sauce. Marinate brisket in this mixture in the refrigerator overnight, tightly covered.
2. Second day: Bake, uncovered, in a 300 degree oven for 4 hours. Cool, wrap tightly in foil, and refrigerate overnight.
3. Third day: Remove meat, discard foil, slice brisket across grain and pour remaining barbecue sauce over meat. Reheat at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve with sauce.
