SLOW-COOKED BRISKET WITH CAROLINA BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• For the brisket: Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the brisket with Miss Brown's House Seasoning. Sear the brisket fat-side down until a deep golden crust forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and sear other side until deep golden brown, another 5 minutes. Remove to a sheet tray.
• Add the onions and bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Stir until coated in fat. Add the beer and bring to a boil. Put the brisket on top of the onions, cover and place in the oven for 3 hours.
• For the BBQ sauce: While the brisket cooks, add the vinegar, brown sugar, brown mustard, whole-grain mustard, yellow mustard, onion, garlic, bourbon and cayenne to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the onion becomes slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth, being careful of hot steam. Pour back into the pan and simmer over medium-low until slightly thickened and reduced by 1/4, about 30 minutes.
• At the 3-hour mark, pour 1 cup of the BBQ sauce over the brisket, return to the oven and cook until the sauce has melted into the brisket, 30 minutes more. Use a knife to test the tenderness of the brisket. It should pierce the brisket very smoothly, with no pushback.
• Remove the brisket from the pot and slice against the grain. Discard the bay leaves. Serve with sliced white bread and all those slow-braised beer onions. Don't forget about the extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Store any extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Stir together the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Keep in an airtight container. Makes 5 teaspoons.

JANE'S BARBECUE BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, lightly score the brisket in a cross-hatch pattern. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. In a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot but not smoking, add brisket, and cook until well browned all over, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Remove, and set aside.
• Add onions, carrots, and the soup. Return the brisket to the pot, and add 1 cup barbecue sauce and the whiskey. Cover, and transfer to oven. Cook until brisket is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Transfer brisket to a platter; set aside. Discard liquid and vegetables.
• Preheat a grill. Brush the brisket on one side with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce. Place sauce side down on grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Brush second side with remaining 1/4 cup sauce. Turn, and cook until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from grill. Slice brisket against the grain 1/4 inch thick. Serve on a roll, topped with more barbecue sauce and cole slaw.

THE ONE AND ONLY BARBECUED BRISKET

Steps:

• The day before serving pat the dry rub into every pore on the brisket and place in a large bag, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap, to marinate overnight.
• Early in the morning take brisket out of refrigerator and bring to room temperature while you start your fire and heat to 210ºF.
• Place brisket on opposite side from the firebox with the fat side up, so juices will help baste the meat.
• Maintain pit temperature between 180º and 220º and smoke 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours per pound.
• Every hour or so, if you have to use mop sauce you may do so.
• (The fat is going to keep the meat moist.) Remove brisket and let sit for 20 minutes.
• Cut the fatty top section away from the top section and the second section.
• Slice both brisket sections across the grain.
• Serve the barbeque sauce on the side, not on the meat.

TIM BOYD'S BARBECUED BRISKET

Steps:

• Place powdered hickory in a Camerons smoker according to the manufacturer's directions. Tuck into the pan a cooking thermometer that has a low enough register to read 160 degrees.
• To make the dry rub, combine the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well, pressing with the back of a spoon to remove any lumps.
• Rub the brisket with the dry rub. Place the brisket into the smoker and slide the cover almost completely closed. Place over low heat until wisps of smoke appear, close the cover tightly and smoke for 6 hours, making sure the temperature never exceeds 160 degrees. (Check the thermometer every half-hour.) Drain off liquid from the drip pan after the first, third and fifth hours.
• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Remove brisket from the smoker and wrap in a double thickness of heavy-duty foil, sealing it tightly. Place the packet fat side down on a baking sheet and bake until fork tender, 3 to 4 hours, turning packet over halfway through cooking.
• Make the barbecue sauce by combining the ingredients in a pan and mixing well. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
• To serve, remove brisket from the foil and place on a cutting board. Cut across the grain into thin slices. Liberally baste with sauce and serve with extra sauce.

MARILYN'S BBQ BRISKET

Steps:

• Place brisket in glass baking dish, fatty side down, making a note of exact weight before discarding wrapper (that will determine cooking time later).
• Measure all remaining ingredients*except* BBQ sauce into a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well to mix.
• Pour marinade evenly over meat; cover dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature while preheating oven to 300 degrees F.
• Bake brisket, covered with foil, for 4 to 5 hours, until extremely tender.
• This is where the weight comes in-- a 3-lb.
• brisket should be ready in 4 hours; a 4-lb.
• brisket will probably take the full 5 hours; if you have one that's somewhere in between, adjust cooking time in 15-minute increments, depending on the exact size.
• Remove brisket from oven and**CAREFULLY** drain off most of the grease that has been produced (safety first here, please-- that grease will be scalding hot!).
• Note: Leave about 2 tablespoons in the pan for flavor; discard the remainder.
• Pour 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce evenly over meat (I use Corky's).
• Recover with foil and return to oven for one additional hour.
• You can either slice this or shred and serve on buns as a sandwich.
• Heat additional BBQ sauce to serve on the side.
