  • ¼ Cup Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • ¼ Cup Catsup, optional
  • ¼ Cup Soy sauce
  • 1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
  • Dash of Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ Cup Brown Sugar
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Trim external fat on beef brisket to 1/4 inch. Place brisket in large self sealing plastic bag or glass baking dish.

Combine all marinade ingredients in measuring cup. Add enough water to equal 2 cups marinade. Pour over brisket. Seal or cover tightly and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
Remove brisket and place on heavy duty foil on a baking sheet or in a foil roasting pan. Pour marinade over brisket. Cover with heavy duty foil and seal tightly.

Bake 4 to 5 hours in a preheated 275 degree oven.

Remove brisket from pan, reserving pan drippings. Place brisket over moderate coals, fat side down. Close lid on grill and cook about 30 minutes.

For hickory smoke flavor, soak hickory chips in water 30 minutes and sprinkle over moderate coals just before grilling meat.

Meanwhile, skim fat from pan drippings. Reheat and serve with brisket. A boneless beef brisket yields three 3-ounce servings per pound.

Pulled-Pork Sandwich

Pulled-Pork Sandwich

Ingredients:

1/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
2 tbsp kosher or coarse salt
2 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1/2 tbsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 boneless pork butt, about 3 pounds
1 1/2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup water
1 package plain soft white rolls or other bread

To make:

Mix brown sugar and dry spices together in a small bowl. Rub all over pork, cover, and let sit in the refrigerator for as long as you have time for (as little as 1 hour or up to overnight). Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lay pork on a rack insert fitted inside a roasting pan. (The rack should be high enough so the entire spiced butt is sitting above the cooking liquid.) Pour in apple juice and water, cover pan tightly with foil, and slow roast for 5 hours. Remove foil and cook for another 30 minutes, until pork is brown outside and meat is very tender, basically falling apart.

Remove from oven, transfer to large platter, and allow meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While still warm, shred pork into small pieces using 2 forks or 10 fingers. Transfer to bowl for serving, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, just transfer to shallow baking dish, bring to room temperature, and place in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes.

Tip: If the pan drippings aren’t burned, discard fat and mix drippings back into the pulled pork, which will make it even more moist and flavorful.

To serve: Sandwich between rolls and partner with classic barbecue side dishes.
