TEXAS BARBECUE BRISKET

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.

SMOKED BBQ BRISKET

Steps:

• Mix together the spices in a small bowl. Rub the entire brisket with the spice mixture, place on a baking sheet, cover and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
• Prepare the smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side down, and smoke for 4 to 5 hours or until extremely tender. Baste with the mop every 30 minutes.
• Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

INSTANT POT BBQ BRISKET

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the steak seasoning, cumin seeds and fennel seeds. Brush the brisket with liquid smoke and then sprinkle both sides with the steak seasoning mixture, making sure to rub it inches Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Pour the barbecue sauce into a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Add the marinated brisket, turning it over to coat both sides. Lock the lid, making sure the valve is set to seal, and cook on high pressure for 75 minutes. Natural release for 15 minutes before manually releasing any residual steam.
• Carefully open the lid and transfer the cooked brisket to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Press the sauté button and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the brisket and then thinly slice before serving.
• Note: If you want to develop a crust on the brisket, you can place under the broiler for a few minutes after you've poured the BBQ sauce over the brisket.
