Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix liquid smoke, onion powder, garlic powder, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar in a bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the brisket and marinate overnight.
- Add a cup of wine to the brisket.
- Cover with foil and bake at 250°F (120°C) for 8 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding smoked paprika or brown sugar to the marinade. If you don't have liquid smoke, try using a combination of smoked paprika and a touch of soy sauce for a similar effect. Ensure the brisket is fully submerged in the marinade for even flavoring. Allow it to marinate for at least 12 hours for best results.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the brisket against the grain for the best texture. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans, or serve it on a bun with barbecue sauce for a delicious sandwich. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Baked Turkey Stew for a hearty experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brisket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place slices in a baking dish with a splash of beef broth or water, cover with foil, and warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven until heated through. This keeps the meat moist and flavorful.
