Choose a location. If you have a backyard, that’s the perfect place to host a BBQ. If not, you can rent a park or pavilion.

Invite your guests. Be sure to invite your family and friends well in advance so they can save the date.

Plan the menu. BBQs are all about the food, so make sure you have plenty of options to choose from. Some classic BBQ dishes include burgers, hot dogs, ribs, chicken, and pulled pork.

Set up the grill. If you’re using a charcoal grill, be sure to start it up early so it has time to heat up. If you’re using a gas grill, just turn it on and let it preheat for a few minutes.

Cook the food. Once the grill is hot, start cooking the food. Be sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.

Once the food is cooked, serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Clean up. After the party is over, be sure to clean up the grill and any other messes.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 – 2 kg / 3 – 4 lb beef brisket
• 1 tbsp olive oil (or a neutral oil like vegetable, canola)
  RUB:

• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp paprika powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 3/4 tsp mustard powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

BBQ SAUCE:

• 2 garlic cloves , minced
• 1/2 cup / 125 ml apple cider vinegar

• 1/2 cup / 110g brown sugar , packed
• 2 tsp EACH black pepper, onion powder, mustard powder

Instructions

Mix Rub ingredients. Rub all over brisket. If time permits, leave for 30 minutes – 24 hours in the fridge, but I rarely do this.

Memorial Day Carne Asada – Combine BBQ Sauce ingredients in a slow cooker. Mix then add the brisket – squish it in if needed, like I did (see video).

Slow cook in slow cooker for 8 hours (1.5 kg / 3 lb) to 10 hours (2 kg / 4 lb). (Note 2 for pressure cooker and click here for oven)

Remove brisket onto a tray.

Pour liquid in slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium high heat and reduce until it thickens to a syrup consistency (it thickens more as it cools).

Meanwhile, drizzle brisket with oil then roast in a 200C/390F oven for 15 minutes until brown spots appear.

Remove then baste generously with Sauce, then return to oven for 5 minutes. Remove and baste again, then return to oven for 5 – 10 minutes until it caramelizes and looks like the photos. (See note for BBQ option)

TO SERVE: Slice brisket thinly across the grain and serve with remaining BBQ Sauce. This is terrific served as a meal with sides or piled high onto rolls with Coleslaw as sliders. See Note 3 for more ideas.
