Category: Brisket/Cornbeef
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 (5- to 6-pound) brisket
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 to 3 medium onions, cut into large dice
2 to 3 large carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch pieces
5 ten-and-a-half-ounce cans Campbell’s French onion soup or beef broth
1 1/2 cups Sankaty Barbecue Sauce, plus more for sandwiches
1/2 cup Jack Daniel’s whiskey
8 to 10 crusty rolls
Cole slaw, for serving (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°.

Using a sharp knife, lightly score the brisket in a cross-hatch pattern. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

In a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot but not smoking, add brisket, and cook until well browned all over, 1 to 3 minutes per side. Remove, and set aside.

Add onions, carrots, and the soup. Return the brisket to the pot, and add 1 cup barbecue sauce and the whiskey.

Cover, and transfer to oven. Cook until brisket is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Transfer brisket to a platter; set aside. Discard liquid and vegetables.

Preheat a grill. Brush the brisket on one side with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce. Place sauce side down on grill. Cook until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Brush second side with remaining 1/4 cup sauce. Turn, and cook until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from grill.

Slice brisket against the grain 1/4 inch thick. Serve on a roll, topped with more barbecue sauce and cole slaw.

Servings: 8 to 10
