BBQ BURNT ENDS

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 6h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
5 pounds brisket, fat cap trimmed
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Serving suggestion: white bread or rolls

Steps:

  • For the brisket: Combine the salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, cumin, granulated garlic and dry mustard in a small bowl. Sprinkle the brisket on all sides with the spice rub. Place the brisket into a slow cooker and cover with the lid. Set the slow cooker to high and cook until tender, about 6 hours.
  • Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and set aside until cool enough to handle. Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a fat separator. Discard the fat.
  • For the BBQ sauce: Pour the cooking liquid into a stockpot and place over medium heat. Stir in the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, salt, liquid smoke, cayenne, granulated garlic and dry mustard. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, at least 20 minutes.
  • Slice the brisket into 1-inch chunks. Remove and discard any large pieces of fat. Spread the brisket in a 9-by-13-inch pan and pour the sauce over the meat.
  • Turn the broiler on high. Broil until crispy and slightly charred on the edges, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with white bread or rolls.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Brisket is the traditional cut of meat for burnt ends, but you can also use chuck roast or pork shoulder. Brisket has a good amount of fat, which helps to keep the meat moist during the long cooking process.
  • Cook the meat low and slow: Burnt ends are best when cooked low and slow. This allows the collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in tender, flavorful meat. Cook the meat at a temperature of 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Use a good rub: The rub is what gives burnt ends their flavor. There are many different recipes for burnt ends rub, but most of them include a combination of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Smoke the meat: Smoking the meat adds a delicious smoky flavor to the burnt ends. You can smoke the meat in a smoker or on a grill. If you're using a grill, use indirect heat and smoke the meat for 2-3 hours.
  • Sauce the meat: Once the meat is cooked, it's time to sauce it. Burnt ends are traditionally sauced with a thick, sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. You can use your favorite barbecue sauce or make your own.
  • Cook the meat again: After the meat is sauced, it's time to cook it again. This helps to caramelize the sauce and give the burnt ends their characteristic crispy exterior. Cook the meat at a high temperature, such as 350 degrees Fahrenheit, for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the meat is heated through.

Conclusion:

Burnt ends are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They're perfect for parties, picnics, and potlucks. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make burnt ends at home. So fire up your grill or smoker and get started!
