Very Simple Ingredients

1 1/2 cup Brown Sugar

Brisket

1 bottle of liquid smoke

pepper

garlic salt

I buy my brisket in the  "feed an army size".  But you can buy whatever size you'd like. I also buy "untrimed" brisket.  Meaning the fat is still left on it.  WHY?  Because it cost LESS for an untrimmed brisket, and because The Man says brisket tastes better that way, and who want's to argue with The Man?

I clean and wash the brisket.

Sprinkle Garlic Salt on it, then massage.

I sprinkle pepper on it.. and rub it in.

Pour Liquid Smoke bottle in the pan along with about 2 cups of water.  If your brisket is smaller, you only want to use 1/2 or a quarter bottle of liquid smoke.  I add water to my pan,  enough that it goes to to the middle side of the brisket.  You don't want it to cover it.

I liberally add brown sugar

I put it on thick, because this makes a nice crust on the brisket.

Once the top of the brisket is covered in brown sugar, put it in a 275 degree oven.

I cook a mondo brisket like this for 6-7 hours, or until is loose when you put a fork in it.

Looks good huh?  But it's not done..

I have this big fork thing… and I flip it over.

Then I take the tongs and scrap the fat off.

Once the fat is off.. I start the garlic, pepper, brown sugar process again.

I put it back into the 270 degree oven for another couple of hours.

It's Done!

It will pull off in "strings" like this..

I cut the brisket in half, and move it to another dish.

I use my kitchen shears to cut the brisket into bit size pieces.

I pour the "juice" from the pan in my gravy separator.. to separate the juices.

About this time The Man comes in to steal a piece of brisket.. and I have to tell him .. NO Then there some wrestling

He usually wins. I don't understand why he must sample my food.

That's when he says: "This is my house, I can sample the wares when I want".

I pour the de-greased juice over the chopped brisket.

#4's so cute.. I gave him a piece..

Heaven…
