BBQ Brisket Recipe


Louisiana BBQ Brisket like a cajun pro

Also known as Tommy’s Brisket because I got the recipe from my girlfriends father. Unfortantely I screwed it up when I cooked it. I believe this recipe is for a 5lb brisket and I wouldn't recommend using a larger one. I tried using a 8 lb brisket and screwed the pooch hard on it.

  • 1/4 cup of Dale’s marinade
  • 1/2 cup of butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup of Italian dressing
  • 4 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Tony’s seasoning
  • Beef brisket


In a sauce pan on med. Heat combine the first five ingredients. Pour through a strainer into a bowl and let cool. When cool enough fill injector with the liquid and inject the brisket thoroughly. Pour remaining sauce over brisket and season to taste. Cook covered in the oven at 250 degrees for three hours. Remove from oven and put the brisket in a tinfoil pan to catch the drippings and put on the smoker for about 2 hours, basting the brisket with the pan drippings from the oven and tinfoil to keep it moist. Use a turkey baster to do this about every 20 minutes or so. You may also add your favorite BBQ sauce at this time. Cover with tin foil and cook half hour more.
