Best 4 Burnt Ends Slow Cooker Recipes

facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Burnt ends are a delicious and flavorful dish that can be made in a slow cooker. This cooking method allows the meat to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in a tender and juicy dish. Burnt ends are typically made with beef brisket, but they can also be made with other cuts of meat, such as pork shoulder or ribs. The meat is first rubbed with a spice mixture and then cooked in a slow cooker on low heat for several hours. Once the meat is cooked, it is typically coated in a sweet and smoky sauce and then grilled or broiled until caramelized. Burnt ends can be served as an appetizer or main course, and they are perfect for parties or potlucks.

KANSAS CITY-STYLE BURNT ENDS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 10h50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup salt
1/3 cup chili powder
1/4 cup paprika
6 tablespoons black pepper
3 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons garlic powder
3 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
One 10- to 12-pound whole, packer trim beef brisket

Steps:

  • Sift the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper into a medium bowl and mix well. Set aside.
  • Trim all the hard fat from the brisket. Trim all the soft fat to 1/4 inch. Prepare a smoker or a grill, following the manufacturer's directions. Stabilize the temperature at 220 degrees F. Use a mild wood such as hickory or cherry for the smoke flavor. Generously cover all sides of the brisket with the rub and gently massage it in. Reserve the leftover rub. Smoke the meat until an instant-read thermometer registers 170 to 185 degrees F when inserted into the flat part of the brisket, about 1 hour per pound. For example, a 10-pound brisket may need to smoke for about 10 or more hours. Monitor the internal temperature.
  • Separate the point of the meat from the flat. At this time you can slice the flat part off the brisket and eat. Trim the visible fat from the brisket point and coat it with the reserved rub. Return the meat to the smoker and continue cooking until the internal temperature of the brisket point reaches 200 degrees F. Remove the brisket from the smoker to a cutting board and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes. Cut into chunks and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve it hot with your favorite sauce on the side.

OLD ARTHUR'S PORK BELLY BURNT ENDS



Old Arthur's Pork Belly Burnt Ends image

This recipe appears in my book "Black Smoke: African Americans and the United States of Barbecue." It comes courtesy of the Old Arthur Barbecue Sauce Company which currently sells a number of barbecue sauce and spice rubs product based on recipes of Old Arthur Watts who learned to barbecue while enslaved. Pork belly burnt ends are a riff on the traditional burnt ends made from beef brisket. This recipe calls for a 3-step process that candies the pork belly by smoking, rendering, and then adding barbecue sauce at the end of the smoking process.

Provided by Adrian Miller

Time 6h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

fruit wood or other wood pieces
6 pounds pork belly, cut into 1-inch squares
½ cup barbecue dry rub (such as Old Arthur's®Smokestack), divided
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup honey
½ cup butter, sliced into pats
1 (20 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (such as Old Arthur's®), divided
½ cup apple juice
½ cup apple jam

Steps:

  • Preheat a smoker to an internal temp of approximately 235 degrees F (113 degrees C). Add wood pieces once temperature has been reached.
  • Place pork belly pieces into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup dry rub on top and toss vigorously with your hands until all pieces are thoroughly coated. Arrange evenly on a wire mesh baking tray, spacing carefully so pieces don't touch one another.
  • Place tray into the preheated smoker. Smoke for 3 1/2 hours at a temperature range between 235 and 250 degrees F (113 to 121 degrees C). If you have not already done so, add wood pieces to the fire so it is producing smoke.
  • Remove the tray from the smoker. Using gloved hands, carefully transfer pork to an aluminum foil pan, arranging pieces so they are uniformly level.
  • Evenly distribute brown sugar, honey, butter, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, apple juice, jam, and remaining dry rub over the pork. Cover and seal the pan with aluminum foil.
  • Return the pan to the smoker and smoke for 2 more hours at a target temperature of 250 degrees F (121 degrees C).
  • Remove the pan from the smoker and remove the foil lid. Carefully transfer the individual pieces from the braising liquid into a new, clean foil pan and drizzle remaining barbecue sauce over top. Discard the old pan and liquid.
  • Place the new pan back in the smoker and smoke, uncovered, until sauce is a little tacky, 15 to 20 minutes. Don't leave it in too long or you will sacrifice that "rendered" texture which you have worked so hard to achieve.
  • Remove from the smoker and serve immediately.
