Ingredients:

• 3-4 pounds beef brisket
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1/2 tablespoon coarse black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 cup beef broth
• 7 cups water
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 4 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1 bay leaf

Instructions:

1. Combine Shake-Up Ingredients: In a bowl, combine salt, chili powder, coarse black pepper, and garlic powder to create the Shake-Up seasoning blend. Set aside.

2. Prepare Basting Sauce/Cooking Liquid: In a saucepan, bring beef broth and water to a boil. Add Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, olive oil, dry mustard, garlic powder, chili powder, Tabasco sauce, and bay leaf to the boiling liquid. Set aside.

3. Trim Brisket or Roast: Trim any excess fat from the beef brisket or roast to your preference.

4. Coat Meat: Generously coat the brisket or roast on all sides with the prepared Shake-Up seasoning blend.

5. Initial Baking: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the seasoned brisket or roast in a baking dish and bake uncovered for approximately 45 minutes.

6. Add Cooking Liquid: After the initial baking period, reduce the oven temperature. Pour the prepared basting sauce/cooking liquid over the brisket or roast. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

7. Slow Cooking: Return the covered dish to the oven and continue cooking at a low temperature until the brisket or roast is very tender. Baste the meat periodically with the cooking liquid to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness.

8. Serve: Once cooked to perfection, remove the brisket or roast from the oven. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly. Serve the succulent meat with mashed potatoes topped with pan dripping gravy for a classic pairing, or enjoy it as a mouthwatering hot sandwich.
