Easy Barbecue Beef Brisket Recipes For A Great BBQ Roast

Easy Barbecue Beef Brisket Recipes

Here are my easy barbecue beef brisket recipes for the best BBQ roast beef sandwiches.

Barbecue beef brisket recipes work best on a gas bbq, a barrel bbq smoker or a water bbq smoker and here we have a good example. If foiled up however for the first half of the cooking, it can be done on the rotisserie or even cheat and pop it in a conventional oven!

You need to prepare the marinade the day before, marinate overnight and also allow for 3 -4 hours slow cooking depending on your cooking method. Whatever you do, remember that the secret to good barbecue beef brisket recipes is cook it slow.

First of all mix up the following ingredients and get ready to apply to a 1.4kg or 3lb brisket

Mix 1 for day 1:-

1 tablespoon tenderizer
3 tablespoons Liquid Smoke
2 teaspoon celery salt
2 teaspoon onion salt
2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Mix 2 for day 2:-

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons brown sugar
A good splash of Worcestershire sauce

(Lower down the page I�ve also included the alternative mix 2 for that Texas flavour that works well on the rotisserie!)

Method:-

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.

Don�t forget to prepare your fire!

In the firebox of a cooker or at the end of a barrel smoker opposite the end with the vent or chimney.
Light the coals in a water bbq smoker.
Preheat a gas smoker/grill.

For the closed bbq smoker method:-

Let the fire die down to gentle embers and place the brisket on the grate but not directly over the coals. Or place a full pan of water over the coals, then add the grate and brisket. The fire should be low, 225 to 250 degrees.

Cover the bbq and smoke the brisket, turning every hour or so, until it is tender and the internal temperature reaches 180 to 190 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 3-4 hours. Because of the long cooking time you�ll need to tend your fire with fresh coals in and aim to keep the fire between 225 and 300 degrees.

When the brisket is charred and tender (a fork should insert easily), remove it from the cooker and allow to rest about 20 minutes.

For the rotisserie method:-

Again let the fire settle down before starting to cook. Turn the brisket on the rotisserie and cook gently for 1 hour 30 minutes and keep basting. Remove the brisket from the grill and allow to rest for 20 minutes.

For the oven method:-

Wrap up again and cook for three hours on a low heat. For a conventional oven use 135 deg C or 275 deg F

Slice thinly and serve with homemade barbecue sauce . Pickles go well and pop it in a bun for great barbecue beef sandwiches!
