SHERRI'S OVEN BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a small bowl (except brisket).
• Line a baking pan with enough foil to seal over the meat.
• Brush half of mixture on bottom of foil. Then, place brisket in the pan, fatty side up. Brush the remaining mixture on top of brisket. Cover and seal well.
• Marinate overnight in refrigerator.
• Take out of fridge about 1/2 hour before cooking.
• Bake at 300F for 3-1/2 hours or until tender.
• Take from oven and allow to rest 15 minutes before cutting.
• Scrape marinade off of meat and slice across the grain.
• Note 1: This recipe is good for 4-6 lbs. of brisket. If you are cooking a larger size, adjust amount of marinade accordingly, marinate longer-at least 24 hours, and adjust cooking time. Allow approximately 1/2 hour cooking per 1 lb. at 300°F.
• Note 2: The pan drippings make a wonderful sauce but you will need to skim the fat and/or strain with cheesecloth. Add beef broth and thicken with cornstarch, if needed. Or, just use your favorite barbecue sauce.
