Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef brisket
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, yellow mustard, tomato paste, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Place the beef brisket in a large Ziplock bag or shallow dish. Pour the sauce mixture over the brisket, making sure it's evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your grill or smoker to medium high heat (approximately 350°F). Remove the brisket from the marinade, allowing excess sauce to drip off. Place the brisket on the grill or smoker and cook for about 2 hours or until tender and reaching an internal temperature of 195°F.
  4. Slice the brisket into thin pieces and serve on mini slider buns with a side of your favorite coleslaw and pickles.

Chef’s Insight

To add an extra smoky flavor, try using hickory or mesquite wood chips when grilling.

Notes

Adjust the barbecue sauce to your preferred sweetness or tanginess by adding more brown sugar or vinegar, respectively.
