• 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• Water
• 1 cup prepared steak sauce
• For Special Sauce:
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup reserved steak sauce/beef drippings mixture
• 1 cup catsup
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

DIRECTIONS

• Trim fat covering on brisket to 1/4 inch. Combine onion, paprika and pepper. Rub mixture evenly over surface of brisket. Place brisket, fat side up, in large disposable aluminum pan. Add 1/2 cup water. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place in center of grid over very low coals. (Single layer of coals with space in between each.) Place cover on cooker and cook 5 hours, turning brisket over every 1 1/2 hours. (Remove fat from pan as it accumulates with baster.) Add 1/2 cup water, as needed, to pan. (Be sure to add briquets as needed to keep coals at very low temperature.)
• Remove foil from pan. Remove brisket; place on grid directly over very low coals. Combine pan drippings with steak sauce; reserve 1 cup for Special Sauce. Brush part of remaining steak sauce mixture over brisket. Replace cover and continue cooking 1 hour, brushing occasionally with steak sauce mixture. Serve brisket with Special Sauce.
• SPECIAL SAUCE: Cook 1/2 cup finely chopped onion in 2 tablespoons butter until tender. Stir in 1 cup reserved steak sauce/beef drippings mixture, 1 cup catsup, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Simmer 10 minutes. Makes 2 cups.
