CHEATER'S BRISKET



Cheater's Brisket image

Urban life makes true barbecue difficult, so grill this brisket over wood chips for the better part of an hour at home, then wrap the meat tightly in foil for an overnight run in the oven.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Time 11h

Yield 12 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Two handfuls of wood chips, like hickory or oak (optional)
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons smoked paprika
3 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 beef brisket, ideally untrimmed, approximately 10 pounds

Steps:

  • Submerge the wood chips, if using, in a bowl of water and set aside to soak.
  • Combine the sugar, paprika, salt, pepper and cumin in a small bowl, then rub all over the brisket, coating it entirely. Set aside at room temperature. (You may apply the rub the night before cooking and allow it to season, wrapped, in the refrigerator.)
  • Build a fire on one side of a charcoal grill, or set one of the burners on a gas grill to high. When all coals are covered with gray ash or the gas grill is hot, place the brisket, fat side up, on the cooler side of the grill, add a handful of the soaked wood chips to the hot side and put the cover down. Cook for 15 or 20 minutes. Flip the brisket over, add the second handful of wood chips to the hot side and cook an additional 20 minutes or so. Remove brisket and wrap tightly in foil, fat side up.
  • Heat oven to 225. Put the brisket packet in a large roasting pan, and place in the oven to cook, unattended, for the next 9 to 10 hours, until extremely tender. (The internal temperature of the meat will be around 165 degrees.) Unwrap the meat carefully, still in the roasting pan, and save the accumulated juices. Slice against the grain and pour the juice on top of the result. Consider serving with baked beans. Use your own recipe or one from nytimes.com.

ULTIMATE CHEATER BRISKET



Ultimate Cheater Brisket image

Our friend Adele Franzblau doesn't see herself as a cook, but she cooks for her family every night and even has her own family cheater brisket recipe. She got it years ago for her son's bar mitzvah, when Adele's mother-in-law, Nancy, in Pampa, Texas, suggested Aunt Pat's Smoky Brisket. Adele says she doesn't even measure. She sets the brisket on a big piece of foil and seasons it liberally with garlic salt, a half bottle of smoke, and about the same amount of Worcestershire sauce. The wrapped brisket marinates in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, the brisket goes into a 250°F oven to cook unattended all day. When she gets home, the house smells wonderful, dinner's ready, and she's a hero. Ultimate Cheater Brisket is similar, but with the added sweetness of a little onion and ketchup.

Yield makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium onion, chopped
One 4- to 6-pound beef brisket
1/4 cup Cheater Basic Dry Rub (page 45)
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup bottled smoke

Steps:

  • SCATTER the onion in the center of a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Rub all sides of the brisket with the dry rub and place the brisket on top of the onion.
  • COMBINE the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and bottled smoke in a small bowl and pour over the brisket.
  • Tightly Wrap the brisket in the foil and place in a roasting pan. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. When you're ready to cook, heat the oven to 250°F.
  • SLOW-ROAST the brisket for 6 to 8 hours. The meat should be fork-tender with an internal temperature of at least 190°F.

CHEATER'S CARROT CAKE



Cheater's Carrot Cake image

Its cheating because I used a box of nut bread mix that I had on hand and wanted to use before it expired instead of making cake batter and because I just dusted the top with powdered sugar instead of making cream cheese frosting. Its still carrot cake and the teens didn't need forks to share it around the dungeon on D&D night.

1/4 cup basic rub (see recipe)
5 cups hickory or oak chips, soaked in cold water for 1 hour, and then drained

  • Preheat grill to 325 degrees, building fire on opposite sides of grill if using charcoal, or on one side or opposite sides if using gas. Season brisket with rub.
  • If using charcoal, every hour for first 5 hours add fresh coals and toss 1/2 cup wood chips on each mound of coals. If using gas, place wood chips in smoker box, and preheat until you see smoke (depending on model of gas grill, use all 5 cups at once or 1 cup every hour for first 5 hours).
  • Place brisket, fat side up, in foil roasting pan just large enough to hold it. Place pan in center of grill, away from heat.
