Beef brisket with homemade bbq sauce

I am not sure if brisket is technically a St. Paddy's food, but I remember eating it growing up on that day. The brisket was delicious, moist and tender. I really surprised myself. I thought it was going to be dry and tough. Towards the end of the 10 hours the liquid was starting to burn, so I had to add a little extra water. I served the brisket with some green mashed potatoes and asparagus. YUM!


(yes I took this picture, not bad eh?)
