Brisket for Christmas
Get Your Grill On suggests a new holiday tradition: Brisket for Christmas!
Brisket is a standard barbecue item at my house, though not all areas of the country would include it as standard. What I like about using brisket for parties is pretty simple:
- It’s versatile. I can serve it with horseradish sauce, redeye gravy or wine reduction sauce, and it works well with a variety of sides. It can also go from basic barbecue to fancier meals with red wine pairings.
- It feeds a lot of people. I can plan on feeding 10 or more people per each brisket.
- It’s just plain good!
The prep sounds pretty straight-forward (you will need a smoker) and the end product is sure to please.
