I hate to do this but I want to save others from the same fate. Let me explain how I think Montana's makes their BBQ Brisket and sauce so you can recreate it at home:
1. Go to local deli, order thinly sliced beef
2. Put beef on a plate, place in microwave until it has a dingey grey color
3. Serve with sauce made of ketchup, brown food coloring and maybe a little garlic salt for taste.
I should have known better because when I entered the BBQ restaurant, there wasn't a single wiff of smoke.
I would have eaten my own vomit instead had I known what it was like- it would have tasted better, saved me some $$, some calories and probably would have tasted better....
