Jeff’s Mop Water

Okay, it’s a funny name, I admit that, but that’s what I started calling this concoction, and the name stuck. Although it’s just water, butter, and seasoning, it’s fantastic on almost any cut of beef—especially brisket. Applying this mop to brisket every hour or so adds tremendous flavor to the outside of the meat and keeps it nice and moist while it cooks. The butter is quick to solidify in the water, so keep the mop warm or microwave it for 20 to 30 seconds and remix it before each use.</
