2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup water
1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce

In a Dutch oven, brown beef in oil on both sides over medium-high heat; drain. Top with onion, salt and pepper. Add water; cover and bake at 325 degrees F for 2-1/2 hours or until tender.

Footnotes

This is a fresh beef brisket, not corned beef. The meat comes from the first cut of the brisket.
Tip: Refrigerating the beef overnight makes it possible to slice it very thinly.
