- Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 (5 pound) beef brisket
- seasoned salt to taste
- 1 cup apple cider
- ½ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 300°.
- Season brisket all over with salt; place in a roasting pan. Pour apple cider over brisket; cover tightly with foil. Cook in the preheated oven until tender, about 3 hours. Don't peek.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for low heat and lightly oil the grate. Combine honey, soy sauce, and salt in a small bowl.
- Transfer brisket to the preheated grill; cook, turning and basting frequently with honey sauce, about 30 minutes.
- Combine ketchup, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and salt in a saucepan; cook sauce on low heat until flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Do not boil, or sauce will become too vinegary.
- Rest brisket about 10 minutes, then slice and serve with barbecue sauce.
