SLOW-BAKED BRISKET WITH BOURBON MUSTARD BARBECUE SAUCE
Steps:
- TO MAKE THE DRY RUB: Combine the 1/2 cup brown sugar, spice mixture, and salt in a small bowl.
- TO MAKE THE BRISKET: Preheat the oven to 275°F. Using your fingers, evenly coat the brisket with dry rub. Combine the mustards, 1/4 cup bourbon, and cider in a small bowl. Spread the mustard paste evenly over the brisket. Set the brisket in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Tightly cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake until the meat is tender, at least 6 hours.
- TO MAKE THE BARBECUE SAUCE: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the onion until wilted, about 3 minutes; stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the 1/4 cup mustard, the 1/2 cup brown sugar, beef stock, the 1/2 cup bourbon, ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and soy sauce and bring the mixture to a boil. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
- To serve, slice the brisket thinly across the grain and serve hot or at room temperature with barbecue sauce.
- Spice Mix
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, coriander, paprika, cayenne, and thyme leaves. Measure out 1/4 cup and reserve the rest in an airtight container for future use.
- do it early
- The brisket can be baked up to 2 days in advance, covered, and refrigerated until ready to serve. Reheat in a 275°F oven for 1 hour. The spice mixture will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for about 2 months.
- tip
- Leftovers make great hot sandwiches. In a medium saucepan, heat thin slices of brisket over low heat with enough barbecue sauce to coat them generously. Serve on soft rolls, such as Honey Grain Rolls, page 104.
- Creole mustard, a Louisiana favorite, is made with crushed mustard seeds and often a touch of horseradish. If you can't find it, substitute any whole grain Dijon-style mustard
