MARILYN'S BBQ BRISKET

Steps:

• Place brisket in glass baking dish, fatty side down, making a note of exact weight before discarding wrapper (that will determine cooking time later).
• Measure all remaining ingredients*except* BBQ sauce into a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well to mix.
• Pour marinade evenly over meat; cover dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature while preheating oven to 300 degrees F.
• Bake brisket, covered with foil, for 4 to 5 hours, until extremely tender.
• This is where the weight comes in-- a 3-lb.
• brisket should be ready in 4 hours; a 4-lb.
• brisket will probably take the full 5 hours; if you have one that's somewhere in between, adjust cooking time in 15-minute increments, depending on the exact size.
• Remove brisket from oven and**CAREFULLY** drain off most of the grease that has been produced (safety first here, please-- that grease will be scalding hot!).
• Note: Leave about 2 tablespoons in the pan for flavor; discard the remainder.
• Pour 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce evenly over meat (I use Corky's).
• Recover with foil and return to oven for one additional hour.
• You can either slice this or shred and serve on buns as a sandwich.
• Heat additional BBQ sauce to serve on the side.
