- Preparing brisket is literally a scared ritual for people who adore barbecue and also for anyone who is from the Lone Star State. I was born and raised in California so obviously the latter doesn't apply to me but I'm a died in the wool, card carrying, real barbecue, barbecue lover!!! Give me some wood smoke and glowing charcoal and I'm one very happy camper. So honestly, this recipe was a little on the sacrilegious side for me. Brisket from the oven? Braised? Liquid Smoke? Ahhh.....Seriously? Ya think? Well, let me tell ya...Yes...seriously. Okay, so here's the dealeo about this brisket. Well, it's obviously NOT barbeque. It's not the preferred way to prepare this fabulous cut of meat. Okay. Okay. Got it. What it is, however, is an extremely delicious, relatively easy to prepare, fork tender, perfect for Sunday dinner kinda thang. So, let's be honest. Who amongst us doesn't like that sort of fab-u-lous-o meal?
