How to make
Brisket with Chunky BBQ Sauce

Prepare brisket: In 8-quart Dutch oven, place brisket, onion, carrot, bay leaf, peppercorns, and allspice. Add enough water to cover and heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 3 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare Chunky BBQ Sauce: In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in cumin and cook 1 minute longer.
Stir in chopped tomatoes with their puree, chili sauce, vinegar, molasses, brown sugar, and dry mustard; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
In cup, blend cornstarch and water until smooth. After sauce has simmered 5 minutes, stir in cornstarch mixture. Heat to boiling, stirring; boil 1 minute. Cover and refrigerate sauce if not using right away. Makes about 4 cups.
When brisket is done, transfer to large platter. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling over medium heat. Place brisket on grill, cover and cook 10 minutes. Turn brisket and cook 5 minutes longer. Spoon 1 cup barbecue sauce on top of brisket and cook until brisket is heated through, about 5 minutes longer. (Do not turn brisket after topping with sauce.)
Transfer brisket to cutting board. To serve, reheat remaining sauce in small saucepan on grill. Slice brisket thinly across the grain and serve with sauce.
