Beef Brisket


10 oz beef stock
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
5-7 pounds beef brisket

In a medium bowl, combine beef stock, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and liquid smoke. Place brisket in an oblong baking dish or roaster. Pour stock over meat. Sprinkle with black pepper. Cover tightly with foil and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 12-18 hours. Bake in 300 degree oven for 5-6 hours or 40 minutes per pound, checking two or three times to pour juice over meat. Allow to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing, cutting across the grain. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or as an open-faced beef sandwich. Serves 8-10.
