   • Rub the mixture over the beef brisket.
2. Marinate:

Weight Watchers Points Estimation

To estimate Weight Watchers points, we need to consider the nutritional values of the ingredients used in the recipe. Here’s a rough estimation:

Dry Rub (negligible points):

• Spices and herbs generally have minimal points.

Sauce (estimated total points):

• Ketchup: ~3 points for 1/2 cup
• Chili sauce: ~3 points for 1/2 cup
• Brown sugar: ~4 points for 1/8 cup
• Cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Liquid Smoke, ground mustard, A1 sauce: Minimal points, roughly 1 point combined

Beef Brisket:

• The points for beef brisket can vary based on the cut and fat content. On average, cooked brisket has about 7 points per 3 ounces.

Total Points Calculation:

• Dry Rub: 0 points
• Sauce: ~11 points (total for the entire amount)
• Beef Brisket: Assuming a 2 lb brisket (~32 ounces), we have approximately 74 points for the meat (7 points per 3 ounces).

Total Points for the Entire Dish: 85 points (approximation)

• Per Serving (assuming 8 servings): ~10-11 points per serving

This is a rough estimation and can vary based on specific brands and measurements. For accurate tracking, it’s best to use the exact ingredients and input them into the Weight Watchers calculator.
