Smokey And The Brisket Food

SMOKED BRISKET

Steps:

• For the brisket: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne and cumin, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 tablespoons pepper. Rub the dry mixture all over the brisket and then tightly wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Unwrap the brisket and let it come to room temperature while you set up the smoker. Prepare a smoker with charcoal and soaked wood chips according to the manufacturer's instructions. Heat it to 190 to 225 degrees F. Place a disposable loaf pan filled with the apple juice and some water inside of the smoker to help maintain a moist environment. Place the room-temperature brisket off of the direct heat, close the lid, and cook, regularly checking the fire and adding additional chips if needed. Do not move or poke the meat with a fork except to check the internal temperature. Cook until the meat is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the brisket registers an internal temperature of 180 to 185 degrees F, 4 to 5 hours.
• Remove the brisket from the smoker and let rest for 30 minutes before slicing and serving with barbecue sauce.
• For Tiffani's barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, put the sugar, garlic powder, cayenne and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan. Mix well together to break up any lumps. Stir in the ketchup, cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

WONDERFUL SMOKEY OVEN-BARBECUED BRISKET

Steps:

• Place the brisket in a glass shallow dish; pour the liquid smoke over the brisket then rub all over with fresh garlic.
• Place the onions on and around the brisket.
• In a small bowl mix together the garlic salt, white salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper, then sprinkle the meat all over with the spice mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.
• Remove the brisket and place on a large piece of heavy-duty foil, then discard the liquid smoke mixture.
• Place the foil with the brisket on it in a large roasting pan, then pour the Worcestershire sauce evenly over the brisket.
• Fold the foil up to seal tightly (prick a few small holes with a fork in the foil to allow the steam to escape).
• Set oven to 275 degrees.
• Bake for 5 hours.
• Remove from oven and unfold the foil; pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the roast, return to oven UNCOVERED and cook for another hour at 275 degrees.
• Delicious!

SMOKED BRISKET

Steps:

• Gently toast the cumin, chilli flakes, peppercorns, fennel seeds and thyme in a pan over a low heat until aromatic. Grind to a fine dust with the demerara sugar using a spice blender or pestle and mortar. Tip into a bowl and mix in the remaining rub ingredients.
• Season the brisket generously with the rub and leave to stand at room temperature for up to an hour. Prepare the smoker for indirect cooking at 120-130C. Once ready, place the seasoned brisket on the smoker, fat-side up. Leave for 10 hrs or until the outside is a dark, mahogany colour. Top up the smoker as needed.
• Remove the brisket and wrap in butcher paper. Return to the smoker and continue to cook for 2-3 hrs until the meat reaches 93-94C when probed with a thermometer. Allow to rest for 40 mins before slicing and serving with charred greens and salsa rossa.

SMOKEY AND THE BRISKET!

Steps:

• Marinate the brisket in the liquid smoke for 24 hours in the refrigerator; turning several times.
• Pour off the unabsorbed marinade. Place meat in a roasting pan and cover meat with the bottle of barbecue sauce.
• Bake in a 325 degree F. oven for 2 1/2 hours or move until tender.
• Remove meat and slice diagonally against the grain in thin slices. Put back the meat back in the sauce and reheat when ready to use.
