Take your barbecue beyond the burger with this brilliant beef brisket

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

about a 5kg/ 11 lb piece of beef brisket
500 ml/ 18 fl oz beef stock
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 small onion , finely chopped
3 garlic cloves , crushed
500 ml/ 18 fl oz tomato ketchup
100 ml/ 3.5 fl oz Worcestershire sauce
75 ml/ 2.5 fl oz lemon juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp malt vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp crushed chilli flakes
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp each chilli powder and mustard powder
1 tbsp each paprika , ground cumin, garlic powder, ground black pepper, caster sugar
1 bay leaf , crushed

Steps:

  • To make the barbecue sauce, heat the oil in a frying pan, then cook onion and garlic for a few mins until soft. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the pan with a good pinch of salt and simmer for 20 mins. Use a hand blender or food processor to whizz to a smooth purée.
  • Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Make the rub by mixing all the ingredients together with a pinch of salt. Rub the mix all over the beef and set aside.
  • In a large roasting tin, mix the beef stock and ½ the barbecue sauce. Add the brisket to the tin, cover tightly with foil, then cook for 4-5 hrs until the meat is really tender when you push a fork into it. The beef can be prepared the night before - just leave it to cool in the tin covered with foil, but don't refrigerate.
  • To finish the beef, get a barbecue fired up and wait until the coals are completely ashen - you want a low, not fierce, heat. Lift the beef out of the roasting tin and place on the barbecue to char. If your barbecue has a lid, close it now. Cook for about 20 mins, turning it carefully with tongs, until lightly charred all over and heated through. Lift onto a board and serve sliced with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

beef brisket
McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning

Steps:

  • You are going to need a large pit BBQ with a cover to completely cook outside- or you can finish this off in the oven.
  • Completely cover the brisket with the steak seasoning- don't be stingy- and pat in well or"rub" as we do here in Texas.
  • Seasoning layer should be thick.
  • Place brisket over coals located on one end of pit or in BBQ and sear all sides of brisket, watching for flame ups, for 2 hours.
  • Use heavy duty foil and completely wrap brisket, placing in a pan that brisket fits comfortably Move pan to the side of the pit without the coals- or to your oven, set at 325 degrees- and let cook for 3 hours, replacing coals to keep temp in your pit at about 325-350 degrees.
  • Remove pan and let brisket set for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
  • Be sure that you slice against the grain of the brisket or it will be tough.
  • There will be lots of wonderful au jus in the foil, be sure to pass that with your brisket and serve with pintos, cornbread and slaw.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Brisket is the traditional cut for Texas BBQ, and it's important to choose a well-marbled piece of meat. This will help ensure that the brisket is tender and flavorful.
  • Prepare the brisket properly: Before cooking, trim the brisket of excess fat and rub it with a mixture of spices and seasonings. This will help create a flavorful crust on the outside of the brisket.
  • Cook the brisket slowly and at a low temperature: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly and at a low temperature in order to break down the connective tissue. The ideal cooking temperature is between 225°F and 250°F.
  • Wrap the brisket in butcher paper or foil: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 165°F, wrap it in butcher paper or foil. This will help keep the brisket moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the brisket rest before serving: Once the brisket has reached an internal temperature of 200°F, remove it from the smoker or oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Texas BBQ brisket is a delicious and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a perfect brisket that will impress your friends and family. So fire up your smoker or oven and get cooking!
