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!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 12h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/4 cup sweet Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (5 to 6-pound) piece beef brisket, preferably point cut, fat trimmed
6 cups wood chips, preferably hickory or mesquite
1 (28-ounce) can tomato puree
12 ounces lager or amber beer
2 ribs celery, minced
1 medium onion, minced
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup yellow mustard
5 thick slices bacon, coarsely chopped (about 6 ounces)
10 cloves garlic, minced
4 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, minced
3 ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cups water

Steps:

  • For the rub: Mix the paprika, 1 tablespoon each of salt and black pepper, the brown sugar, and the cayenne. Rub spice mixture all over brisket, wrap tightly, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium to medium-low fire for indirect grilling.
  • For the sauce: Mix the tomato puree, beer, celery, onion, 1/2 cup of the vinegar, the brown sugar, mustard, bacon, garlic, chiles, bay leaves, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and black pepper to taste in a large disposable aluminum pan. Put brisket in the sauce.
  • Throw a handful of drained wood chips on the hot coals, put the pan over the cooler side of the grill, and cover so the vent holes are directly over the brisket. Baste meat every 30 minutes, turning occasionally and adding water to the pan as necessary to keep meat partially submerged, until the meat is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 200 degrees F, about 3 3/4 hours. Replenish the charcoal as needed to maintain a medium to medium-low fire.
  • Transfer the brisket to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Skim the fat from the braising sauce and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cider vinegar and salt to taste. Reheat if necessary. Thinly slice brisket across the grain and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon some sauce over the meat and pass the rest at the table.

BBQ BEEF BRISKET



BBQ Beef Brisket image

No one has ever turned away from my BBQ brisket and always ask for seconds ! If there is any left over we make sandwiches the next day. I have included the instrutions for oven and crock pot cooking. The one in the picture I made yesterday in the oven. This is before adding extra sauce. I prefer to let everyone do that...

Provided by Dee Schimmel

Categories     Beef

Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 lb trimmed beef brisket
RUB
2 Tbsp coarse salt
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp garlic powder
3/4 Tbsp onion powder
3/4 Tbsp celery powder
2 Tbsp coarse ground black pepper
SAUCE
1 c ketchup
1 bottle (10 oz) chili sauce
3/4 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c + 1 tablespoon of white vinegar (not wine)
1/3 c worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp liquid smoke
1 1/2 tsp ground mustard

Steps:

  • 1. Combine rub ingredients in a small bowl.
  • 2. Rub into brisket on both sides using all of mix.
  • 3. Place meat into 6 qt slow cooker or heavy cast iron dutch oven. (I use an oval one)
  • 4. Combine sauce ingredients in a seperate container and pour 1/2 over brisket. Save the rest for serving.
  • 5. Cover meat and bake at 350 for 4 to 5 hours until meat is tender or in crockpot/slowcooker on high for 5 hours or until tender. (I have had to cook it in crock pot as much as 8 hours depending on meat)
  • 6. Serve with reserved sauce. In the past I have added more sweetener to reserved sauce for table use.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is the traditional cut for barbecue, but you can also use chuck roast or short ribs.
  • Trim the fat: Trim off excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the surface.
  • Season the brisket generously: Use a rub made from a variety of spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Smoke the brisket low and slow: The ideal temperature for smoking brisket is between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the brisket for 8 to 12 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the brisket rest before serving: Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

If you follow these tips, you'll be able to make a delicious and tender barbecue beef brisket that will impress your friends and family. Brisket is a versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways, so experiment until you find a method that you enjoy. There's nothing quite like the taste of a perfectly cooked piece of smoked beef brisket, and it's sure to be a hit at any gathering.
