Instructions
1
Using a fork, poke holes all over the brisket to allow the marinade to penetrate.
2
In a large bowl, combine no-salt-added ketchup, brown sugar, low-sodium chili sauce, red wine vinegar, water, beer, lemon juice, prepared mustard, celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, Tabasco sauce, and pepper to create the marinade.
3
Marinate the brisket in half of the sauce, making sure to coat it well. Cover and refrigerate overnight for optimal flavor.
4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Carefully place the marinated brisket on the hot grill and sear it for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned.
5
Once seared, remove the brisket from the grill and transfer it to a foil-lined roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to lock in moisture.
6
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the brisket on the grill for approximately 4 hours, or until it reaches a tender state, stirring gently as needed.
7
For precision, it’s advisable to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should read 170°F for medium doneness.
8
Once cooked, remove the brisket from the grill and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
9
Slice the brisket thinly across the grain and at an angle for the best texture.
10
Reheat the remaining half of the marinade and pour it generously over the sliced brisket before serving. Enjoy!
