Steps:
- Allow the brisket to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Combine the salt, sugar, shallots, garlic powder, smoked paprika and cayenne in a small bowl to make a dry rub. Massage the rub into all sides of the meat, being sure to use it all. Lay the brisket on a sheet pan.
- Light a grill on low heat on one side, keeping the other side turned off; you should maintain a temperature of 250 to 300 degrees F the whole time you are grilling. Place the hickory chips in a foil pan. Cover with foil and cut slits in the top to release the smoke. Place the foil pan on the lit side of the grill. Place the brisket fat-side up on the turned-off side of the grill and close the cover. Cook, flipping a few times, until very tender but not falling apart and the center reaches about 200 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes, then slice the brisket into thin slices across the grain. Serve over buttered toasted buns or with Corn Cakes and Crunchy Slaw.
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
- Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
- Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.
- Whisk together the mayo, dill, granulated sugar, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a large bowl.
- Remove the stem from the broccoli and slice thinly, then add to the bowl. Cut the crown of the broccoli into small florets and add to the bowl, along with the cabbage and fennel. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing. Garnish with the fennel fronds.
- Serve immediately or store refrigerated in an airtight container. This recipe tastes even better the next day!

BRISKET MARINADE
My family has been using this brisket marinade recipe for about 15 years now. So easy, and absolutely to die for! Marinade is good for oven-baked or grilled brisket. You can find liquid smoke at the grocery store, near the bottled marinades.

Steps:
- Carefully slit just one end of the Cryovac bag, and remove the brisket, saving the bag.
- Rinse off the brisket, trim off any surface that looks like age, but leave on as much of the fat as possible, rinse again, and set aside.
- Rinse out bag, and set aside.
- You will be using it to marinate the meat if you don't have any giant food-safe bags.
- Alternately, you can use a roasting bag, such as the ones made by Reynolds.
- Do not use a garbage bag.
- They are not food-safe!
- Combine all of the liquid ingredients in a small bowl, except for the olive oil, and stir to combine.
- Add all of the dry ingredients, and stir to dissolve whatever is likely to dissolve.
- Start with the minimal amounts of spices, and work your way upward, stirring and tasting as you go.
- The marinade should be quite spicy!
- Whisk the olive oil into the marinade.
- Return the brisket to the Cryovac bag, and add the marinade, letting it drizzle down the sides of the meat.
- Squeeze out as much air as possible, and staple the end shut; the easiest way to do this is to fill the sink with water and let the water help do the squeezing.
- Massage the marinade into the meat, seal the Cryovac bag into a garbage bag to contain leaks, and it WILL leak!
- Place in the refrigerator, and marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 days, preferably longer, up to 5 days, massaging and turning over 2-3 times a day.
- Fold together the edge of 2 large pieces of heavy-duty foil to make a single piece large enough to enclose meat.
- Place the meat and marinade on the foil, seal it in, folding up all edges to seal.
- Alternately, place meat and the marinade in a large roasting bag, squeeze out air, and close the bag (I thought of this after the fact, of course!).
- Place meat on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up so it will self baste, and roast in a 250-275 degree F for about 4-5 hours, until it reaches an internal temperature of about 130 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Carefully cut open the bag to expose meat, being careful not to burn yourself with the hot juices.
- Poke a couple hole in the bottom to let juices drain into the pan, and pull out bag or foil from under the meat, letting meat rest on the roasting rack.
- Return to oven, and continue roasting until internal temperature of meat reaches 150 degrees F, about another 1 hour or less.
- The meat will be pretty well done, but it will still be juicy due to the slow cooking.
- Remove roasting pan from oven, and allow brisket to rest at least 15 minutes before cutting.
- Trim off and discard all external fat before carving across the grain.
- Strain and degrease the pan drippings to use for jus or gravy.
- The drippings will be WAY TOO SALTY and SPICY to use as-is, so dilute to taste with low-sodium canned chicken broth and water before using or freezing.
- I ended up needing 2 cans of chicken broth and 4 cups of water to dilute 4 cups of drippings, and the jus was still very tasty!

Tips:
- To ensure a flavorful and tender brisket, choose a high-quality cut of meat with good marbling.
- The secret to a delicious brisket lies in the marinade; use a flavorful combination of spices, herbs, and liquids to create a unique taste.
- Allow the brisket to marinate for at least 24 hours, or up to 3 days, to allow the flavors to penetrate deep into the meat.
- When cooking the brisket, maintain a low and slow temperature to prevent the meat from drying out. Smoking is a great way to achieve this, but you can also use a Dutch oven or slow cooker.
- Monitor the internal temperature of the brisket using a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches the desired doneness. For tender and juicy brisket, aim for an internal temperature of around 200-205°F (93-96°C).
- Let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful brisket.
Conclusion:
Creating a tender and flavorful barbecued brisket takes time and effort, but the result is worth it. By following the tips and techniques outlined in this article, you can create a delicious brisket that will impress your friends and family. Whether you choose to smoke, braise, or slow-cook your brisket, remember to marinate the meat for maximum flavor and cook it low and slow for the best results. Enjoy your homemade barbecue brisket!
