How to Make Bar B Qued Brisket

  1. Sear a 3-4 lb brisket (or bottom round roast) on all sides in 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until nicely browned.
  2. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour one 18-ounce bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce (Kraft Honey BBQ sauce recommended!) over the roast.
  4. Fill the empty barbecue sauce bottle with 1 cup of orange juice and pour over the roast.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 200-250 minutes, or until a fork or knife easily pierces the meat. Check the internal temperature; it should reach 190-200°F (88-93°C) for brisket or 145°F (63°C) for bottom round.
  6. Let the brisket rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
  7. To reheat: Place in a microwave-safe dish, top with extra sauce, and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until warmed through. Alternatively, warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven until the sauce is bubbly.
