Ingredients

• 1  3- to 3-1/2-pound beef brisket
• 1/2  cup chopped onion
• 1/2  cup liquid smoke
• 1/2  cup soy sauce
• 1/4  cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1  tablespoon celery seeds
• 1  tablespoon bottled minced garlic
• 1  teaspoon ground black pepper
•   Hamburger buns, split (optional)

Directions

1. For brisket: Trim fat from meat. Place meat in a large resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.

2. For marinade: In a medium bowl, combine onion, liquid smoke, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, celery seeds, garlic, and black pepper. Pour over the meat; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.

3. Place meat in a foil-lined 13x9x2-inch baking dish: pour marinade over meat. Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 3 to 3-1/2 hours or until it's very tender, turning once. Remove from oven. Carefully transfer meat to a cutting board; discard marinade. To serve, thinly slice meat across the grain. Place on a serving platter. If you like, serve in hamburger buns. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
