Texas Smoked BBQ Brisket

Texas Smoked BBQ Brisket

Adapted from a recipe card in "Cooking with Beer".
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.

Equipment

  • Grill, Charcoal or Gas

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup BBQ seasoning mix
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 beef brisket, trimmed, (2 ½-3 ½ kilo / 5-7 lbs)
  • 1 cup Frank's Cayenne Pepper Sauce
  • 1 ½ cups beer, divided
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • ¼ cup butter, (¼ block / ½ stick)

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix together the BBQ seasoning and chili powder. Rub mixture into the brisket on all sides. Place brisket, fat side up, into a foil pan. Cover and place in the fridge for 1-3 hours.
  • Prepare BBQ sauce by mixing together Frank's sauce and 1 cup of beer in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Prepare your grill for indirect cooking over medium low heat. Place pan with the brisket in the center of the grill over indirect heat. Cover and grill for 6-7 hours until the meat is very tender (88° C / 190° F internal temperature). Baste with the BBQ sauce you prepared, once per hour.
  • In a small saucepan, add the 1 cup of BBQ sauce, butter, and the remaining ½ cup beer. Simmer on medium heat until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  • When the brisket is ready, remove to a cutting board, let rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice. Arrange meat on a serving tray.
  • Serve with the BBQ sauce you just made and sides of your choice. Enjoy.

Notes

For cost per serving I am going to say High as I have never seen brisket available in an open market, but I do assume it is available at high end western markets.
