Oven BBQ Brisket

This is an all-time favorite family recipe!  I've had to make a couple adjustments to it to make it more paleo friendly.  Original recipe from "The Better Homes and Gardens, The New Cookbook."

1 3-3.5lb beef brisket
3/4 cup water
1 medium onion
3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce (this is not strict paleo)
2 Tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp beef powder (I use Frontier brand)
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
2-3 cloves garlic, minced

Trim fat from meat, make sure to trim as much as possible as the end product will be much more desirable.  Place in a 9x13 baking pan.  Stir together the rest of the above ingredients and pour over meat.  Cover with foil and bake in a 325 degree oven about 3 hours, turning once.  Remove meat from juices.  At this point, I like to chill them separately.  Once chilled, it is super easy to remove the fat. Remove the fat and measure out 3/4 cup of liquid.  Add water if it is not quite enough.

In a saucepan combine:
1/2 cup ketchup (I use homemade)
2 Tbsp coconut sugar
1 Tbsp arrowroot powder
3/4 cup reserved juices

Cook and stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly.  Cook and stir for 1 minute more.

Thinly slice the cooled meat and place in a glass baking dish.  Pour sauce over the top.  Cover with foil.  Warm in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly.
