Beef Brisket with Mop Sauce Recipe

Beef Brisket with Mop Sauce RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Beef Brisket with Mop Sauce Recipe Rating 4

This tender brisket roasts in a sauce that adds great flavor. When one of our sons lived in the South, I learned that "mop sauce" is traditionally prepared for Texas ranch-style barbecues in batches so large it is brushed on the meat with a mop! You won't need that much for my recipe, but will get the big-time taste.

Lizeck...I am also doubling this recipe as a surprise for my husband's birthday tomorrow. Could you please advise me on how long to cook at what temp? Also...did you follow the directions on the recipe verbatim? Thanks so much for your help!

My brisket didn't get flavored with the sauce and the sauce was very runny, like water. We did enjoy the sauce flavor though.

I made this for my family. I got rave reviews. It was soo easy, I will definitely make this again and again. I doubled the recipe for 15 people hoping for left overs, but everyone loved it so much that there was not very much left over.

Sauce is terrific, meat is tender, family loves it. Have made it 10+ times since learning the recipe, and am now in the process of copying the recipe onto my own files so it won't be lost.
