Every time I make this brisket, I get asked for the recipe. Heck, that’s how I got the recipe. Our good friend, Laura Mayo, made this brisket at their annual spring branding for the branding crew and it was so delicious I asked her for the recipe. It’s so simple it seems too good to be true. When Laura told me how she made it I said “That’s it?” Sure enough, that was it and it was perfect.
Oven Roasted
This brisket is conveniently slow roasted in the oven, not cooked in a smoker like traditional Texas BBQ brisket. It’s cooked at 200* F for about 2 hours per pound. The marinade gives it the perfect flavor you expect from Texas BBQ without the smoker.
The Marinade
The secret. Magic in a bottle. The marinade is called Claude’s BBQ Brisket Marinade. It’s a unique blend of natural spices and real Hickory liquid smoke makes Claude’s the best BBQ Brisket marinade & sauce around. It contains no preservatives or artificial flavorings. Claude’s Sauces started in 1978 and they are still the same family business bottling their marinade in El Paso, TX.
Brisket Size
We like to feed a lot of people when we cook a brisket so I usually buy a 10 pound brisket. This will feed 15 people or so with some leftovers. I put the brisket in the oven the night before and it’s ready for dinner the next day. A smaller brisket won’t take as long to cook. Leftovers are great on a sandwich or served in a burrito or just eaten as is.
