🍖 Smoked Brisket Recipe

Serves: 12-15

🛒 Ingredients:

• 1 (12-16 lb.) Brisket
• 1 bottle Butcher’s BBQ Prime Injection
• ½ cup GJBBQ “Mr. George’s Brisket Rub”

👨‍🍳 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 ¼-inch thick pieces for maximum tenderness.
   • Serve: Garnish with your favorite sides and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

✨ Tips for the Perfect Smoked Brisket:

• Quality Meat: Start with a high-quality brisket for the best results.
