How to Make Barbecue Beef Brisket
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Generously season a 5-pound beef brisket (or boneless beef roast/bottom round) with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Place the seasoned roast in a covered roaster and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
- While the roast cools, prepare the BBQ sauce (see ingredient list for recipe).
- Once cool, trim away any excess fat from the brisket.
- Slice the brisket thinly against the grain.
- Place sliced beef in a 9x12 inch casserole dish in two layers, topping each layer generously with the prepared BBQ sauce.
- Thinly slice one lemon and arrange the slices over the top layer of meat.
- Cover the casserole dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, or until heated through.
- Remove the lemon slices before serving. Serve immediately on hamburger buns.
- For freezing: Allow to cool completely before wrapping tightly and freezing for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
