Texas-Style Beef Brisket
A friend tried this recipe and liked it, so I thought I would try it, too. When my husband told me how much he liked it, I knew I'd be making it often. —Vivian Warner, Elkhart, Kansas

This was delicious and then even better reheated the next day. Tender and moist.
I have wanted to make this recipe for a long time, so when my sister was visiting we thought let's give it a go! Anyways, neither of us read the recipe properly, and just made the barbeque sauce and put the meat in it in the slow cooker and cooked it for 4 hours on high. It was absolutely awesome!!!! Anyways, going back to review the recipe I realized we'd made it totally wrong, and it didn't even matter!
This is REALLY good!! The meat is great in French rolls, dipped in sauce.
There aren't very many recipes my family rate as excellent, but this one was a keeper.
One of my husband's favourite home-cooked meals :) Side it up with mashed potatoes & broccoli.... DELICIOUS!!!!!
This was THE best brisket I have ever had. I served it to company and both men said it was out of this world. I believe you could get a man to propose if you served this!
We loved this recipe and are adding it to our regular menu items. I left out the vinegar, as we don't care for the tangy flavor vinegar adds and it was still a winning recipe.
Great recipe. I substituted EVOOil for the canola oil, cilantro broth seasoning (Knorr mini-cube) for the beef broth--as I've done in several other meat recipes--and about 1/4 cup honey for the molasses (didn't have any molasses). All else the same, including cooking time. The brisket was delicious and succulent, the sauce outstanding. My family says it's the best brisket I've served in many a day. Thanks for the recipe.
I made this last night, and everyone LOVED it! I was only able to find two small briskets in the grocery store, and both came to less than 4 lbs. combined. I still used the recipe amounts listed, and made no changes. The meat was very tender, and the sauce was outstanding! I liked that the sauce did not have an over-abundance of vinegar, which is what I always find in bottled sauces.I served this recipe with homemade potato salad and fresh-cooked asparagus spears. I will definitely be making this again and again!
I have made this 5 times in 5 months! It is so easy, and the meat comes out very tender. It's a real keeper!
