TEXAS STYLE BBQ BRISKET(VEGAN)

Steps:

• Mix the sauce well. Slice the seitan loaf 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick slices.
• Spread some sauce about the shape of the seitan loaf on a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to fold over and enclose the seitan.
• Spread open each slice and slather on the sauce. Close it back up and spread more sauce over the top. Fold the edge of the foil over several times and seal the ends well. Wrap it twice so you don't have a sauce blowout.
• Cook it on the barbecue pit until the sauce inside is almost entirely absorbed and highly thickened. If you want a nice line of char on the bottom, don't turn it over halfway through. It's tough to say how much time because grill and fire pit temps vary wildly. The position on the grill over the heat matters as well. Last time I made it, it was on about 30 minutes but needed 45 to get the char, just to give you an idea. It was delicious anyway.

AMERICAN KITCHEN CLASSIC TEXAS STYLE SMOKED BRISKET BBQ

Steps:

• Thoroughly combine all dry rub ingredients. Rub mixture into the meat, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Store leftover mixture in an airtight jar or in freezer.
• Allow brisket to come to room temperature, and then arrange in a smoker. Put the brisket on the grill fat side up.
• You want a good steady low fire with a temperature between 200/225 degrees F at the meat level with cooking time at about 1 1/2 to 2 hours per pound. There is a ratio to the smoking - total cooking time = smoking time + last eight hours wrapped double in heavy-duty aluminum foil over a smokeless fire.
• Remove wrapped brisket from smoker and let stand for at least 15 minutes before opening and slicing. If necessary, you can throw this in an ice chest immediately after coming off the grill and it will stay "Hot" for several hours. Slice diagonally across the grain and trim off fat.

TEXAS-STYLE BARBECUED BRISKET

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the brisket under cold running water and blot it dry with paper towels.
• 2. Combine the salt, chili powder, sugar, pepper, and cumin in a bowl and toss with your fingers to mix. Rub the spice mixture on the brisket on all sides. If you have time, wrap the brisket in plastic and let it cure, in the refrigerator, for 4 to 8 hours (or even overnight), but don't worry if you don't have time for this-it will be plenty flavorful, even if you cook it right away.
• 3. Set up a charcoal grill for indirect grilling and preheat it to low. No drip pan is necessary for this recipe.
• 4. When ready to cook, toss 1 1/2 cups of the wood chips on the coals (3/4 cup per side). Place the brisket, fat side up, in an aluminum foil pan (or make a pan with a double sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil). Place the pan in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill.
• 5. Smoke cook the brisket until tender enough to shred with your fingers; 6 hours will likely do it, but it may take as long as 8 (the cooking time will depend on the size of the brisket and heat of the grill). Baste the brisket from time to time with the fat and juices that accumulate in the pan. You'll need to add 10 to 12 fresh coals to each side every hour and toss more wood chips on the fresh coals; add about 3/4 cup chips per side every time you replenish the coals during the first 3 hours.
• 6. Remove the brisket pan from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it across the grain, using a sharp knife, electric knife, or cleaver. Transfer the sliced meat to a platter, pour the pan juices on top, and serve at once.
• Barbecue Sauce, the Texas Way
• The best Texas-style barbecue sauce combines the sweetness of Kansas City-style tomato sauces with the mouth-puckering tartness of a North Carolina vinegar sauce. I've come up with my own version-mix together equal parts of the Basic Barbecue Sauce and the North Carolina Vinegar Sauce . Serve this with barbecued brisket. For a really good sauce, add some meat drippings or a little chopped brisket.
