🍖 Smoked Brisket Recipe

Serves: 12-15


đź›’ Ingredients:


👨‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Brisket:

    • Trim the Fat: Remove all surface fat from the face of the brisket. This ensures even cooking and prevents excessive grease.
    • Level the Brisket: Trim the bottom of the brisket to make it sit level on the grill, promoting uniform cooking.
  2. Inject the Brisket:

    • Shake Well: Shake the Butcher’s BBQ Prime Injection bottle thoroughly to mix the contents.
    • Inject the Meat: Inject the entire point and flat sections of the brisket using a 1-inch by 1-inch grid pattern. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, ensuring juicy and flavorful meat.
  3. Rest the Brisket:

    • Refrigerate: Let the injected brisket rest in the refrigerator for 4 hours. This allows the marinade to fully absorb into the meat.
  4. Season the Brisket:

    • Apply the Rub: Liberally season the brisket with “Mr. George’s Brisket Rub”. Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor.
    • Set the Rub: Let the seasoned brisket sit for 60 minutes to allow the spices to meld with the meat.
  5. Smoking the Brisket:

    • Preheat the Grill: Set your smoker or grill to 225°F.
    • Position the Brisket: Place the brisket on the grill. Use beef trimmings to keep the brisket level if necessary.
    • Cook to Color: Smoke the brisket until it reaches your desired color and an internal temperature of 165-170°F.
  6. Wrap and Continue Cooking:

    • Wrap in Foil: Remove the brisket from the grill and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil.
    • Increase Temperature: Raise the grill temperature to 275°F.
    • Finish Cooking: Continue to cook the brisket in the foil until it reaches an internal temperature of 195-200°F. The meat should be tender, with the temperature probe sliding in easily without overcooking.
  7. Rest the Brisket:

    • Release the Steam: Remove the brisket from the grill, open the foil, and let the steam escape for 15 minutes.
    • Cool Down: Place the brisket in a cooler, still wrapped, to keep it warm and allow the juices to redistribute.
  8. Slice and Serve:

    • Slice Against the Grain: Slice the brisket against the grain into ÂĽ-inch thick pieces for maximum tenderness.
    • Serve: Garnish with your favorite sides and enjoy the fruits of your labor!
