Yeah. Definitely too much lime juice/not enough meat. Overcooked it as well. Squeezed all the liquid out of it (and I literally mean squeezed… am really glad the boyfriend didn’t catch me in the kitchen wringing-out meat like wet laundry!) and it is now resting in fridge Fingers crossed! I gotta try this recipe again (once I get over the trauma) it really does look yummy. Thanks for responding so quickly, you rock!

Hillary: Lime and beef, with the addition of a few spices, is really an incredible combination!

Virginia: A slow-roaster without a hot kitchen is a super idea.

Cooking Novice: Hmm…the finished dish shouldn’t be soupy; in fact, much of the liquid gets absorbed. Perhaps you had extra-juicy limes or not enough meat; that could account for overpowering flavor. When balanced with the brown sugar and the spices, it’s nicely tart but also savory. I’d remove all your excess liquid and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Good luck!

I just made this recipe but I think I messed up. Didn’t use key limes… thus maybe too much juice? It’s really sour and too limey and bitter tasting. And maybe I didn’t have enough meat cause its really soupy. I’ve added sugar but it’s not getting any better. Any suggestions on how to rescue this???

Oh my goodness! This sounds SOOO good. How come I never thought of lime flavoring on steak? This looks deeeeeliiiiicious.

Never too late for you, never. Well, you know how I feel about nachos, but if they work for you on the side, go for it!

Madeline:
Welcome, and thank you. Where on earth did you get to have key lime brisket? Sounds wonderful.

Your photos are gorgeous! I had a key lime brisket once and it was amazing. Your recipe sounds like it, I’m excited to try it.

I am late here, but that does sound great. Maybe even with your nachos on the side.

Obviously, I love a good pot roast too – in any weather. Enjoy!

Cathy C:
I’m sure a crock pot would be good for this – I really do everything the hardest way, don’t I?

Susan:
Fajita meat – or skirt steak, one of my favorites – is so good with lime juice!

Grace:
I am passing you a pretend mojito on a pretend Caribbean beach.

Jean:
Get out of my head, you!

Boy:
Missing the burnt ends, eh?

Dragon:
Welcome! Hope you get the chance to try it out soon.

Any slow-roasted meat is in the “tempting” category. Welcome, and enjoy!

Pot roast is easy – brown, simmer, and eat. You’ll love it!

Welcome, and thanks! I confess to making key lime pie this week, too…watch for it!
