  • Choose the right cut of beef. Brisket is the most popular cut for Texas beef barbecue, but chuck roast, short ribs, and flank steak can also be used.
  • Use a good rub. A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that is applied to the beef before cooking. There are many different recipes for rubs, but some common ingredients include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Cook the beef slowly and at a low temperature. This will help to tenderize the meat and develop the flavor.
  • Use a smoker or grill. A smoker is the traditional way to cook Texas beef barbecue, but a grill can also be used. If using a grill, be sure to use indirect heat.
  • Baste the beef regularly with a mixture of water, vinegar, and spices. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the beef until it is tender and falls apart easily. This can take several hours, so be patient.
