Beef Brisket BBQ for BBQ lover

 

The last time I posted a Farmer Bob recipe was on Valentine’s Day, nearly a month ago. I’m not saying that there’s been no action in our kitchen since that time, but nothing really seemed to leap out of the stove and onto my MacBook.
That all changed when Bob returned home from The Star Store on Friday evening with a big hunk ‘o beef. More specifically, a beef brisket. So what exactly is a beef brisket? According to about.com, it’s a “beef cut taken from the breast section beneath the first five ribs, behind the foreshank.” Got that? All I know is it was loomin’ large in our fridge all weekend, and Bob was eager to find a recipe. He found a fun one online, an entertaining video from the BBQ Pit Boys. All the directions on how to prepare Beef Brisket BBQ are there, but I’m including a list of the ingerdients.
Our neighbor Rich Frishman, curious as to what Bob was cookin’ up on the Sunday debut of Daylight Saving Time, was duly impressed with how the brisket was looking half-way through its slow cook. So much so that he went and picked one up at The Star Store. I’ll be making my favorite spud salad, some cornbread, and we’ll have a touch of southern cookin’ tonite at the Frause House.
