Here's one of my easy barbecue beef brisket recipes for the best BBQ roast beef sandwiches.
Brisket is not the best quality cut of meat (and therefore relatively cheap) but this doesn’t mean that you can’t create a decent meal out of it. The secret is long and slow in the smoker and a controlled low temperature. This breaks down all the “chewiness” to give you a tender cut of beef.
If you’re worried that you’ll end up with a dry lump of shoe leather…….don’t. Use a water bath under the brisket and the joint will stay moist.
TIP - Whatever juices collect in the water bath, save them and reduce for a great marinade for your next beef cookout.
For this recipe you need to prepare the marinade the day before, marinate overnight and also allow for 8-10 hours slow cooking.
First of all mix up the following ingredients and get ready to apply to a 1.4kg or 3lb brisket
Lay your brisket on a piece of aluminum foil of suitable size for wrapping it up and rub it all over with Mix 1. Wrap it up in the foil and bung it in the refrigerator overnight.
On the day of cooking unwrap the brisket and rub in Mix 2, cover and let the meat come to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Now prepare your fire.
Set up for indirect cooking with a water bath and smoke long and slow for 8-10 hours. Don’t worry, your patience will be rewarded.
