Texas Smoked BBQ Brisket
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.
