Love waking up on Thursday to spend some time with my pals Angelina and Chris on KAMR Today in Amarillo. This recipe takes a little work (but only in terms of time…it’s really quite simple). Take time to prepare your brisket accurately, making sure to allow the brisket to come to room temperature before searing, and that you allow it to rest before slicing. If you do these little things right…your meal will be incredible!
