Time 4h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

One 4-pound brisket
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 packed tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon dried shallots
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Buttered toasted buns or Buttermilk Cheddar Corn Cakes (recipe follows)
Crunchy Ranch Slaw (recipe follows), for serving
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for cooking corn cakes
1 large egg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/3 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained, optional
1 tablespoon dried chives
Serving suggestions: butter and maple syrup
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small crown broccoli
1/4 green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1 bulb fennel, fronds reserved and bulb thinly sliced (about 4 cups)

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!

Categories     Beef

Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cups hickory chips
8 to 9 pounds beef brisket, choice grade
Trim Tabb's Pig Powder, or your favorite BBQ dry rub
Wood Chick's Mustard Sauce, (Bottled Super Smokers)
Wood Chick's Beer Based Mop Sauce, recipe follows
Wood Chick's Brisket BBQ Sauce, recipe follows

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat charcoal smoker for half an hour. 2. Sprinkle brisket generously with the dry rub. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight. 3. Remove the brisket from refrigerator 1 hour prior to cooking and let stand at room temperature. Mop the entire brisket with Mustard Sauce. Place brisket fat side up in a smoker at a preheated temperature of 200 to 225 degrees F. Add 3 handfuls of pre-soaked hickory chips to preheated charcoal (should be at the gray stage). After 3 hours, add another 3 handfuls of chips and mop with Beer Based Mop Sauce. 4. After 2 more hours, place brisket on 2 pieces of heavy-duty foil and pour 1/4 cup Beer Based Mop Sauce on top of brisket and seal tightly. Continue to cook another 2 to 4 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 185 degrees F. 5. Remove from foil and let stand 15 minutes. Slice brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch thickness. Top with Brisket BBQ Sauce. Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Wood Chick's Beer Based Mop Sauce: 3/4 cup cider vinegar 12 ounces beer 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 tbl BBQ dry rub 2 tbl Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper Mix all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Wood Chick's Brisket BBQ Sauce: 1/2 cup finely chopped onions 2 tabl butter 1 cup tomato sauce 1 cup ketchup 1/3 cup chili sauce 3/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup honey 1 cup white vinegar 1 tsp allspice 1 tbl dry mustard 2 tsp ground black pepper 2 tsp chili powder 3 tbl Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tbl paprika 3 tbl lemon juice 3 tbl maple syrup In a medium to large saucepan, saute the onions in the butter over medium heat until soft. Add remaining ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef brisket. The best cut for smoked brisket is a whole packer brisket, which includes both the point and the flat. The point is fattier and more flavorful, while the flat is leaner and more tender.
  • Trim the brisket. Before smoking the brisket, trim off any excess fat. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and prevent the fat from burning.
  • Season the brisket generously. Use a rub made with your favorite spices and herbs to season the brisket. Be sure to rub the seasoning into the meat well.
  • Smoke the brisket low and slow. The ideal temperature for smoking brisket is between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the brisket until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the brisket rest before slicing. Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Smoked beef brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make the best smoked brisket possible. So fire up your smoker and get started!
