Brisket

Ingredients

• 1 5lb single brisket
• 1 cup Coca-Cola (not diet, not Zero, just Classic)
• 1 cup apricot jam
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce (homemade or store bought)
• 1 packet dry onion soup mix, such as Lipton’s
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• fresh cracked pepper to taste

Directions

1. Mix marinade ingredients together, pour over brisket in a roasting pan, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Or, if you don’t have that much time to spare, several hours will do in a pinch.
2. Good morning! Preheat oven to 325 F then cook covered brisket for 3 hours, then uncovered for an additional 1/2 hour. Let cool, then refrigerate (this aids in slicing). Skim any excess fat. When cooled, slice thinly against the grain and add back into pan with sauce.
3. About a half hour before you’re ready to serve, preheat oven to 350 F and reheat brisket for 30 minutes, spooning sauce over it a couple of times.
