1 (5-6 pound) beef brisket
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 tablespoon onion salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 ounces liquid smoke
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Ingredients for Sauce:

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup tomato puree
3/4 cup water
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions:

Sprinkle brisket generously with celery salt, onion salt and garlic. Pour liquid smoke over brisket, cover and refrigerate overnight.

Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of liquid. Sprinkle meat with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and bake for 3-1/2 to 4 hours at 275 degrees.

For sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture thickens. Set aside.

Remove brisket from oven and top with sauce. Bake for 1 hour more. Remove from sauce and let cool for 2 hours before slicing. Slip back into a warm oven after slicing, if desired, and serve topped with warm sauce.
