Easy Texas BBQ Brisket

I got this from Taste of Home and was one of the many recipes mom and I tried on her 2012 fall visit. We didn't marinade it, but found it was much better the next day...maybe it's good the same day if you marinade it.  It was very easy and was good for a quick brisket bbq.  I think the other brisket recipe I have is better, but it needs a bbq and a little more of a process. We also halved the recipe.



2 Tblsp. packed brown sugar
1 Tblsp. salt
1 Tblsp. onion powder
1 Tblsp. garlic powder
1 Tblsp. ground mustard
1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
2 fresh beef briskets (3 1/2 lb. each)
1 bottle (10 oz.) Heinz 57 steak sauce
1/2 c. liquid smoke
1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce

In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients.  With a fork or sharp knife, prick holes in briskets.  Rub meat with seasoning mixture.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Place briskets, fat sides up, in a roasting pan.  In a small bowl, combine the steak sauce, liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce; pour over meat.
Cover tightly with foil; bake at 325 degrees for 4 to 5 hours or until tender.  Let stand in juices for 15 minutes.  To serve, thinly slice across the grain.  Skim fat from pan juices; spoon over meat.
