Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Place the beef brisket fat-side up on a rack inside a roasting pan.
  3. Pour the liquid smoke around the meat in the pan.
  4. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
  5. Roast for 4 hours, turning the meat once halfway through, until very tender.
  6. Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the exterior to brown.
  7. Remove the brisket from the oven and let it cool completely.
  8. Wrap the cooled meat tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  9. Pour the pan juices and rendered fat into a glass jar or bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
  10. The next day, remove the meat from the refrigerator and trim off any excess solidified fat.
  11. Use two forks to pull the meat apart into small shreds.
  12. Skim the hardened fat layer from the top of the refrigerated pan juices.
  13. In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of the reserved hardened beef fat over medium heat.
  14. Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft and translucent.
  15. Stir in the cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, molasses, cayenne, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, chili sauce, lemon slices, salt, and black pepper.
  16. Add 1 cup of the reserved pan juices to the sauce mixture.
  17. Simmer the sauce uncovered over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  18. Add the pulled brisket to the sauce and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring frequently.
  19. If the mixture becomes too dry, add more pan juices or water as needed to keep the meat moist.
