- Ready In:
- 4hrs 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 14
- Serves:
-
12
ingredients
- 4 -5 lbs beef brisket
- 1 teaspoon salt and pepper (to taste)
- 3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 -2 garlic clove, minced
- 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 small lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 dash liquid smoke
directions
- Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.
- Roast in a covered roaster at 325 degrees for 3 to 4 hours or until tender; cool and refrigerate a short while for easier slicing.
- Mix remaining ingredients together except for the lemon.
- Cut off excess fat on roast and slice meat thinly. Cut across the grain.
- Place layers of meat in a 9 by 12 casserole dish and top each layer with sauce. I usually get 2 layers of meat with a 5 pound brisket.
- Put thinly sliced lemon over the top layer, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until heated through.
- Remove lemon slices before serving.
- This freezes well; thaw overnight and then reheat. I remove lemon slices before freezing.

This was sooooo good, we followed the recipe exactly except for the step w/the oven. DH put the whole thing on the smoker, kept basting w/the sauce and when finished brought it in, sliced and served w/sauce on the side. YUM!! Had company and everyone raved. Just the right combination of sweet and tangy and the meat was perfect. Thanks M. Joan for a great recipe we'll be making again and again. Made for PAC Spring 08

<p>I Was Adopted banner: <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg alt= /> <br />I live in Spirit Lake,Iowa and enjoy having a place on the lake. I love to cook, grow seedlings for my small garden, read and play bridge. I also love to try new recipes on my husband, children, grandchildren and friends. Therefore, I truly enjoy this site! <br /><br />For those of you who might wonder why I give only 4 and 5 ratings to a recipe - I try to choose a dish that has ingredients I know we will like and appeals to our taste buds. With all the wonderful recipes on this site to choose from, one can seldom go wrong. Those that occasionally don't turn out as hoped, I don't rate. Someone else may find that same recipe perfect for them!</p>
