This brisket cuts like butter—no joke! With just a few ingredients and steps, the recipe is nearly impossible to mess up. The thin, fall-apart-tender slices are delicious on their own but also make everything from tacos to Frito pies taste better. —Darla Andrews, Boerne, Texas

Ingredients

1 whole fresh beef brisket (about 10 pounds), deckle fat removed
1 bottle (21.5 ounces) Asian honey barbecue sauce and marinade
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°. Place brisket, fat side up, in a large roasting pan. Pour marinade over brisket. Bake, covered, for 4 hours. Combine remaining ingredients; sprinkle over brisket. Bake, covered, until tender, 2-4 hours longer (a thermometer inserted in brisket should read about 200°).
Preheat broiler; uncover brisket. Broil 3-4 in. from heat until fat is bubbly and slightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Cut diagonally across the grain into thin slices. If desired, skim fat from cooking juices and serve with brisket.
