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!

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.

Steps:
- Place powdered hickory in a Camerons smoker according to the manufacturer's directions. Tuck into the pan a cooking thermometer that has a low enough register to read 160 degrees.
- To make the dry rub, combine the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well, pressing with the back of a spoon to remove any lumps.
- Rub the brisket with the dry rub. Place the brisket into the smoker and slide the cover almost completely closed. Place over low heat until wisps of smoke appear, close the cover tightly and smoke for 6 hours, making sure the temperature never exceeds 160 degrees. (Check the thermometer every half-hour.) Drain off liquid from the drip pan after the first, third and fifth hours.
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Remove brisket from the smoker and wrap in a double thickness of heavy-duty foil, sealing it tightly. Place the packet fat side down on a baking sheet and bake until fork tender, 3 to 4 hours, turning packet over halfway through cooking.
- Make the barbecue sauce by combining the ingredients in a pan and mixing well. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
- To serve, remove brisket from the foil and place on a cutting board. Cut across the grain into thin slices. Liberally baste with sauce and serve with extra sauce.

THE ONE AND ONLY BARBECUED BRISKET
Anyone can master a "real" barbecued brisket. I think that beef brisket was the reason the barbecue process was invented. We have some great BBQ joints in Texas and I think this recipe is as good as any of them. Cook time is for 1 1/4 hours per pound of a 12 lb. brisket.

Steps:
- The day before serving pat the dry rub into every pore on the brisket and place in a large bag, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap, to marinate overnight.
- Early in the morning take brisket out of refrigerator and bring to room temperature while you start your fire and heat to 210ºF.
- Place brisket on opposite side from the firebox with the fat side up, so juices will help baste the meat.
- Maintain pit temperature between 180º and 220º and smoke 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours per pound.
- Every hour or so, if you have to use mop sauce you may do so.
- (The fat is going to keep the meat moist.) Remove brisket and let sit for 20 minutes.
- Cut the fatty top section away from the top section and the second section.
- Slice both brisket sections across the grain.
- Serve the barbeque sauce on the side, not on the meat.

'BARBECUED' BRISKET
Brisket simply cannot be grilled over direct heat no matter how careful you are; it absolutely requires long, slow cooking. In fact, it's difficult to grill (or broil) without some form of precooking, whether in aluminum foil (a venerable trick that makes sense) or in a barbecue pit. The slow braising phase of cooking the beef, in a ketchup-and-chile-based sauce, may take a while - it doesn't surprise me when brisket takes three hours or even longer to become really tender - but the final browning can take as little as 10 minutes and produces fork-tender brisket.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven that can later be covered over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes. When it is hot, add oil, swirl it around, then add beef. Sear meat for about 5 minutes on each side, seasoning with salt and pepper; when nicely browned, remove from pot. Turn off heat under pot for a minute.
- Add onion to pot and cook, stirring, over medium-low heat until softened, 5 to 10 minutes (if meat is very lean you might need to add a little oil). Add all remaining ingredients, stir, and cook for about a minute. Return meat to pot, nestling it in sauce.
- Cover pan, put it in oven, and cook until meat is tender, at least 2 hours and probably closer to 3. When it is done, you can refrigerate it in its liquid for 1 to 2 days before proceeding.
- Light a charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; rack should be about 4 inches away from heat source. Drain meat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill or broil on both sides until brown and crisp, just a few minutes. Meanwhile, skim cooking liquid of fat, warm gently, and use as sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef brisket. The best cut for barbecue is a whole packer brisket, which includes both the flat and the point. The flat is leaner and more tender, while the point is fattier and more flavorful.
- Trim the brisket. Before cooking, trim off any excess fat from the brisket. This will help the brisket cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Season the brisket generously. Rub the brisket all over with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a layer of brown sugar or honey for a sweeter flavor.
- Cook the brisket low and slow. The best way to cook a brisket is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the brisket to cook evenly and develop a tender, fall-apart texture.
- Let the brisket rest before slicing. Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the brisket, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Zippy Barbecued Beef Brisket is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your brisket turns out perfect every time.
