OVEN BARBECUED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Combine all of the seasoning ingredients in a bowl and rub the mix into the beef. Place the brisket in a roasting pan. Slowly cook the beef for 1 hour, turn the beef and cook one hour more before covering with a tight fitting lid. Continue to cook with the lid tightly in place for 2 1/2 to 3 hours more. This will render most of the fat. Carefully pour off and discard the fat. Allow the beef to rest for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.

SMOKED BBQ BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix together the spices in a small bowl. Rub the entire brisket with the spice mixture, place on a baking sheet, cover and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
• Prepare the smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side down, and smoke for 4 to 5 hours or until extremely tender. Baste with the mop every 30 minutes.
• Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

ANDOUILLE BRISKET MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Place the grinder attachments and the pork shoulder, brisket and sirloin in the freezer. Chill until the meat is very cold but not yet frozen.
• For the andouille blend: With a meat grinder, grind the chilled pork using the No. 2 dial. Transfer to a mixing bowl with the smoked paprika, sweet paprika, garlic, chili powder, salt, cumin, black pepper, crushed red pepper and cayenne. Mix well, then place in fridge to firm up.
• For the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, onions and a pinch of salt. Saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant but not yet browned, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven (or a grill) to 350 degrees F.
• For the brisket meatloaf blend: Grind the chilled brisket and sirloin using the No. 2 dial. Add to a large mixing bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the breadcrumbs and let soak. Add the breadcrumb mixture to the bowl with the brisket and sirloin. Add the cooled sauteed vegetables and the ketchup, 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Mix thoroughly, being careful not to overwork.
• Place a large sheet of foil (at least 24 inches) on a cutting board. Place the meatloaf blend on the foil and press into a roughly 8-by-12-by-1-inch rectangle. With your hands, roll the andouille blend into a cylinder the width (lengthwise) of the meatloaf. Place the cylinder on the meatloaf rectangle and form so the ends are flush with the sides of the rectangle. Starting from one of the long edges, roll the meatloaf over the andouille to encase it completely; press firmly to seal. Roll up the foil and seal by twisting the ends.
• Transfer the meatloaf to a baking sheet. Bake on the center oven rack for 1 hour. Peel back the foil, spoon the 1/4 cup BBQ sauce over the top of the meatloaf, and return to the oven, uncovered. Cook for another 30 minutes so the meatloaf gets a nice crust and turns brown on the outside.
• To serve, slice into thick medallions and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

MOM'S BRISKET

Steps:

• Season the brisket liberally on both sides with teriyaki sauce, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Place the meat under the broiler until browned. Turn it over and brown the other side.
• While the meat is browning, put 2 cups of water and the onion soup mix into a pot large enough to hold the meat, bring to a boil and let boil for 10 minutes.
• Mix the flour into 1 cup of cold water and stir well.
• When the soup has boiled stir in the flour mixture and stir until thickened. Reduce heat to a simmer.
• Add a splash of wine.
• When the meat has browned add the meat and any pan juices to the pot.
• Cover and simmer until meat is fork tender, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

MOM'S MARINARA WINE BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a Dutch oven or covered roasting pan. (My Mom likes to pan sear the meat to "lock in the juices" but I can't tell the difference and don't usually do it).
• Sprinkle meat with the salt, garlic and onion packet all over.
• Now add the marina sauce and wine.
• Turn meat a few times to coat.
• Cook 3 hours, turning meat after 1 1/2 hours.
• The meat will be done when it is tender when pierced with a fork.
• Remove brisket to a cutting board and let cool a bit for easier cutting.
• Cut meat on the diagonal of the grain.
• Return meat to sauce and serve.
• It is also great the next day and it freezes well.
