Zesty Beef Brisket
Courtesy of Bronco Bob's

In 2003, Bronco Bob’s of Dallas, Texas made a big splash as a first time competitor at the Fiery Food Show. Their new line of Chipotle Sauces – Roasted Raspberry, Smoked Bacon, Tangy Apricot and Wild Cherry Berry – walked away with 3 Scovie Awards! This recipe for Beef Brisket uses the Smoked Bacon Chipotle Sauce, the “Best Specialty Chile Hot Sauce” Winner.


Ingredients:

3 to 4 pound beef brisket, trimmed
1 bottle Bronco Bob’s Smoked Bacon Chipotle Sauce
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions:

Marinate the brisket in Bronco Bob’s Smoked Bacon Chipotle Sauce for 24 to 48 hours. Remove brisket from marinade and reserve for later use.
Preheat an outdoor grill.
Sear brisket 6 to 8 minutes on each side on the grill. You may also sear the meat in a large skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat on the stove.

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Lay out overlapping sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a cookie sheet.
Place brisket on foil, pour about ˝ cup of the reserved marinade over the meat, and wrap securely. Reserve remaining marinade for later use.

Roast, undisturbed, in the center of the oven for 4 to 5 hours depending upon the size of your brisket. At the end of the cooking time, remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes.
Pour off juices and combine with ˝ cup of reserved marinade to make sauce. Boil for 12 to 15 minutes to reduce and thicken.
Season with salt and pepper, and whisk in 2 tablespoons soft butter.

Slice brisket across the grain. Garnish a large plate with a combination of tender greens, overlapping slices of brisket and drizzle with sauce.
Pass additional warm sauce.
