CLASSIC BRISKET
Makes 4 - 6 Servings
A whole beef brisket weighs 7.25-3.62 kg / 16-18 pounds and has three
separate parts: the cap, the point, and the flat. Use the flat section,
as it is lean, compact, and creates nice slices when carved.
Ingredients:
1
Beef Brisket
2.2-3.6 kg / 5-8 lbs,
Layer of fat is at least 0.6 cm / ¼" thick
1 bottle
Prepared Yellow Mustard
75 ml / 5 tbsp Seasoning
1 bottle
Chili Sauce
1 pack
Dry Onion Soup Mix
375 ml / 1 ½ c. Beef Broth
40 ml / 8 tsp Black Pepper
Suggested Wood Pellet Flavor: Hickory / Competition
Instructions:
1. Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on your working station.
Large enough to encase the brisket. Using a sharp knife, cut a
single cut on the underside of the brisket against the grain. This
will aid in slicing the finished brisket, against the grain which
results in a tender, melt-in-your-mouth cut. The underside is
the non-fat cap side. Slather on a generous amount of prepared
mustard. Rub lightly onto the entire area. Sprinkle a generous
amount of seasoning onto the mustard, then again light rub into
the meat. Flip the brisket over and repeat the process. Wrap the
prepared brisket in the plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours,
or overnight.
2. Prepare the basting mixture. Mix the chili sauce, dry onion soup
mix, beef broth, and black pepper. Set aside.
3. Preheat grill, then reduce to SMOKE or low temperature.
4. Place the brisket, fat side up, in the center of the grill. Close the
grill lid. Slow cook until tender, about 10 to 12 hours.
5. Baste the brisket with the basting mixture every half hour for
the first 3 hours.
6. Continue the slow cooking process until the internal temperature
reaches 60-66
°
C / 140-150°F. Remove from grill.
Turn grill up to
176°C / 350°F.
7. Place the brisket into a pouch of double-layered aluminum foil.
Pour 50 ml / ¼ cup of basting mixture over the brisket in the
pouch. Close the pouch shut.
8. Lay foil pouch carefully on the grill. Steam for 1 to 1 ½ hours.
9. Open the pouch, and use a meat thermometer; internal
temperature should reach 91°C / 195°F. The brisket should be
firm but be able to pull the meat apart with your fingers.
10. Transfer the meat to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10
minutes. Thinly slice across the grain to serve.
