Slow Baked Brisket With Bourbon Mustard Barbecue Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• For the brisket: Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the brisket with Miss Brown's House Seasoning. Sear the brisket fat-side down until a deep golden crust forms, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and sear other side until deep golden brown, another 5 minutes. Remove to a sheet tray.
• Add the onions and bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Stir until coated in fat. Add the beer and bring to a boil. Put the brisket on top of the onions, cover and place in the oven for 3 hours.
• For the BBQ sauce: While the brisket cooks, add the vinegar, brown sugar, brown mustard, whole-grain mustard, yellow mustard, onion, garlic, bourbon and cayenne to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the onion becomes slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth, being careful of hot steam. Pour back into the pan and simmer over medium-low until slightly thickened and reduced by 1/4, about 30 minutes.
• At the 3-hour mark, pour 1 cup of the BBQ sauce over the brisket, return to the oven and cook until the sauce has melted into the brisket, 30 minutes more. Use a knife to test the tenderness of the brisket. It should pierce the brisket very smoothly, with no pushback.
• Remove the brisket from the pot and slice against the grain. Discard the bay leaves. Serve with sliced white bread and all those slow-braised beer onions. Don't forget about the extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Store any extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Stir together the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Keep in an airtight container. Makes 5 teaspoons.

Steps:

• TO MAKE THE DRY RUB: Combine the 1/2 cup brown sugar, spice mixture, and salt in a small bowl.
• TO MAKE THE BRISKET: Preheat the oven to 275°F. Using your fingers, evenly coat the brisket with dry rub. Combine the mustards, 1/4 cup bourbon, and cider in a small bowl. Spread the mustard paste evenly over the brisket. Set the brisket in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Tightly cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake until the meat is tender, at least 6 hours.
• TO MAKE THE BARBECUE SAUCE: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the onion until wilted, about 3 minutes; stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the 1/4 cup mustard, the 1/2 cup brown sugar, beef stock, the 1/2 cup bourbon, ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and soy sauce and bring the mixture to a boil. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
• To serve, slice the brisket thinly across the grain and serve hot or at room temperature with barbecue sauce.
• Spice Mix
• In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, coriander, paprika, cayenne, and thyme leaves. Measure out 1/4 cup and reserve the rest in an airtight container for future use.
• do it early
• The brisket can be baked up to 2 days in advance, covered, and refrigerated until ready to serve. Reheat in a 275°F oven for 1 hour. The spice mixture will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 months.
