BBQ BEEF BRISKET

Categories     main-dish

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!

Prepare a day ahead for easier slicing. Be sure to slice across the grain. To reheat, place in microwaveable dish, top with sauce and heat on high for 3-5 minutes or till warmed, or warm in the oven @ 350 degrees till sauce is bubbly. NOTE: I have also used a bottom round roast in place of the brisket (see photo). Any flavor bar-b-que sauce works well but Kraft Honey is delish!

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Grilling Method
Indirect grilling
Advance preparation
4 to 8 hours for curing the meat (optional); also, allow yourself about 6 hours cooking time
Special equipment
6 cups hickory or mesquite chips or chunks, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained
Ingredients
1 beef brisket (5 to 6 pounds), with a layer of fat at least 1/4 inch thick, preferably 1/2 inch thick
1 tablespoon coarse salt (kosher or sea)
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse the brisket under cold running water and blot it dry with paper towels.
  • 2. Combine the salt, chili powder, sugar, pepper, and cumin in a bowl and toss with your fingers to mix. Rub the spice mixture on the brisket on all sides. If you have time, wrap the brisket in plastic and let it cure, in the refrigerator, for 4 to 8 hours (or even overnight), but don't worry if you don't have time for this-it will be plenty flavorful, even if you cook it right away.
  • 3. Set up a charcoal grill for indirect grilling and preheat it to low. No drip pan is necessary for this recipe.
  • 4. When ready to cook, toss 1 1/2 cups of the wood chips on the coals (3/4 cup per side). Place the brisket, fat side up, in an aluminum foil pan (or make a pan with a double sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil). Place the pan in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill.
  • 5. Smoke cook the brisket until tender enough to shred with your fingers; 6 hours will likely do it, but it may take as long as 8 (the cooking time will depend on the size of the brisket and heat of the grill). Baste the brisket from time to time with the fat and juices that accumulate in the pan. You'll need to add 10 to 12 fresh coals to each side every hour and toss more wood chips on the fresh coals; add about 3/4 cup chips per side every time you replenish the coals during the first 3 hours.
  • 6. Remove the brisket pan from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it across the grain, using a sharp knife, electric knife, or cleaver. Transfer the sliced meat to a platter, pour the pan juices on top, and serve at once.
  • Barbecue Sauce, the Texas Way
  • The best Texas-style barbecue sauce combines the sweetness of Kansas City-style tomato sauces with the mouth-puckering tartness of a North Carolina vinegar sauce. I've come up with my own version-mix together equal parts of the Basic Barbecue Sauce and the North Carolina Vinegar Sauce . Serve this with barbecued brisket. For a really good sauce, add some meat drippings or a little chopped brisket.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: The best cut of beef for brisket is a packer brisket, which includes both the flat and point cuts. The flat cut is leaner and more tender, while the point cut is fattier and more flavorful.
  • Trim the brisket: Before cooking, trim the brisket of excess fat. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
  • Season the brisket: Season the brisket with a rub of your choice. There are many different rubs available, so choose one that you like the flavor of.
  • Cook the brisket low and slow: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked low and slow in order to become tender. The ideal cooking temperature for brisket is between 200 and 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Wrap the brisket: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, wrap it in butcher paper or aluminum foil. This will help the brisket retain its moisture and finish cooking.
  • Let the brisket rest: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of beef that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to smoke it, braise it, or slow-cook it, brisket is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. With a little patience and planning, you can easily create a mouthwatering brisket that everyone will love.
