Brisket Marinade (The Best)

28 Years ago when our family moved to Houston from Alabama, our family was treated to a true introduction to Texas!!!
Our friends, the Budds (formerly of Mississippi) entertained us with a Texas Brisket Dinner and a trip to a real Texas Rodeo!! Unfortunately, we have lost touch with the Budds, but we have not forgotten how special that meal was!! The Brisket Dinner they prepared for us has become a family favorite through the years!!! Hopefully, it will be yours!

BRISKET MARINADE (A 5 pound brisket will usually serve 6-8 folks)

Sprinkle brisket generously with unflavored Tenderizer. (I now use brown sugar because of the MSG in the Tenderizer)

2 Tablespoons of the following:
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Liquid Smoke
Lea and Perrin Worcestershire (lots of this)

2-3 Tablespoons of sugar

Turn and repeat on reverse side.

Marinate 8-12 hours or longer. Wrap in foil or covered dish.

The next day repeat covering with identical ingredients.
(The next day repetition is optional; I have found it is great without taking this extra step) Try it both ways, see which you like best!!

Bake in oven covered in foil for 8 hours (275 deg) or in foil on grill for 4-6 hours, opening foil during last hour.

Enjoy with Soppin Sauce!
