Oven Barbecued Beef Brisket

Choose your favorite barbecue sauce to serve with this spicy beef.  Baking it under foil keeps the meat extra tender and juicy.

1 (3 to 3 1/2) pound fresh beef brisket
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
1 1/2 Tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon granules
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups bottled barbecue sauce

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Trim fat from brisket.  Place brisket in an ungreased 9 x 13 inch baking pan or baking dish.  In a small bowl stir together the water, onion, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, chili powder, bouillon granules, cayenne pepper and garlic.  Pour over brisket. Cover with foil.

Roast about 3 hours or until tender, turning once.  Transfer brisket to a cutting board, discard juices. Thinly slice meat across the grain.  Place on a serving platter.  Serve with barbecue sauce.  Makes 10 to 12 servings.
