Brisket Essentials Wet And Dry Marinades Food

BRISKET ESSENTIALS: WET AND DRY MARINADES

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need a smoker, or a smoker box for your grill to properly make this recipe.
• 3. My favorite smoke for brisket is applewood, and I will add a bit of hickory to give it depth.
• 4. Storage of homemade condiments, spices, and marinades Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. The dry marinade, if stored correctly should last 4 - 6 months. The wet marinade should last about 7 - 10 days.
• 5. I have "regular" and electric smokers. For this recipe I am using one of my Masterbuilt smokers. If you are in the market for a good electric smoker, Masterbuilt makes some of the best.
• 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 7. If you are using the wet marinade, place the ingredients into a Ziploc bag, add the brisket, then place in the fridge overnight. If you are using the dry marinade, rub the brisket with the spices, cover tightly in cling wrap, and place into the fridge overnight.
• 8. Here is an image of the dry mix on the brisket. I then wrapped it tightly in cling wrap and stuck it into the fridge overnight.
• 9. The next day I removed the brisket put it on a rack and stuck it in the smoker.
• 10. I smoked it at 235f (115c), until the internal temperature reached 205f (95c). It took about 11 hours.
• 11. I then wrapped it in cling foil and let it rest for about an hour.
• 12. Always slice it against the grain.
• 13. PLATE/PRESENT
• 14. I always recommend after you take it out of the smoker, wrap it in parchment paper for about an hour, to let the juices redistribute, then slice against the grain and serve. Enjoy.
• 15. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
