HOW TO SMOKE BRISKET: TEXAS STYLE BRISKET STEP BY STEP



How to Smoke Brisket: Texas Style Brisket Step by Step image

Learning how to smoke a brisket can be a very daunting task. Practice makes perfect. An informative guide like this can fast track you to a family favorite meal. Give yourself a lot of time to complete a brisket. A brisket takes 1 to 1.5hrs per pound. So give yourself 10-14hrs of cooking time.

Total Time 1080 minutes

Prep Time 180 minutes

Cook Time 720 minutes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 lbs Prime Packers Cut Brisket
8 tbsp Brisket Rub
1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Beef Tallow

Steps:

  • Trim the Brisket : Make sure the brisket is cold for this step. I sometimes throw the still packaged brisket in the freezer for 20 mins before I plan to start trimming. The brisket has two different sides to it. The flat (lean side) and the point (taller, fatty side). You will want to reduce the fat cap to about ¼” thickness. This helps keep the brisket moist and juicy through the smoking process. You’ll notice very hard and thick parts of fat on the point and underside. Remove most of this as you can. This fat will not render  and is not the type of fat that compliments the flavors of the brisket.
  • Brisket Rub : Evenly spread the rub over the brisket but don’t overdo it. You can easily put too much rub on. You can let the brisket sit on the counter up to an hour before cooking.
  • Smoker Set Up: I like to run my smoker at 250 degrees F at the start. Depending on your smoker, this may take some time. Everyone has a different opinion of what wood to smoke. I typically use oak wood for my brisket but everyone has a different opinion when it comes to smoking woods. Oak provides a medium smoky flavor that is a bit lighter than Hickory. Hickory provides a sweeter finish and is great for low and slow cooks.
  • Once the smoker is at temp it is ready for the brisket. Now is the time to insert your meat thermometer into the thickest part of the brisket. Make sure the probe is in the meat and not the fat. Place the brisket in the smoker with the fat cap facing up and the point facing the heat source (more important on offset smokers). The point requires more time to cook compared to the flat, so it is best to have the point closer to the heat source.
  • To keep the moisture up during the cook, I put a bowl of water in with the brisket. This helps the brisket stay moist and creates a better bark because smoke likes the cool and moist areas of meat. When you're smoking brisket for a long period, keeping the smoker humid helps ensure the brisket does not dry out. Now is the time for patience. Do not constantly go back and open your smoker to inspect the brisket. Trust your meat thermometer and leave the brisket alone. Slow and consistent heat is what makes the best brisket.After 3-4 hours of smoking I start to spritz the brisket with apple cider vinegar every hour until it is time to wrap.
  • After 3-4 hours of smoking, move smoker temp to 265F.
  • Keep Spritzing the dry parts of the brisket every hour.
  • Brisket Stall : After about 7 hours you will notice that your brisket internal temp has been sitting the same for quite some time. Probably around 160/165 degrees F. This is normal. It is called “The Stall”.The brisket is at a temperature where the fat is rendering down and creating a cooling effect on the meat. This can go on for hours depending on how much fat content is in the brisket. When this happens, the inexperienced BBQ’er starts to panic. I move the smoker to 285F to power through the stall. This will not dry out your brisket. I've done this plenty of times.
  • Once the brisket has gone through the stall and the temps start to climb more rapidly and the brisket has a nice black bark finish, the next step is to wrap in the wax free butcher paper. This is the Aaron Franklin method and it seems to give the best results. Before I remove the brisket, I lay out two 4' lengths of butcher paper on a table. See picture below. I overlap the two pieces. I have started to use melted beef tallow and apply it over the butcher paper where the brisket will sit. This seems to aid in keeping the brisket extra tender and juicy. I then place the brisket on the butcher paper and wrap it very tightly. You do not want to leave large air gaps in the butcher paper because you could get a steaming effect. Take your time and wrap the brisket tight. Set the temp to 275F and we are in the final stretch of the cook.
  • Re-insert the thermometer and place back in the smoker.
  • Finishing the Brisket: As the temperature gets to 190 degrees, I’ll check to see if the brisket is done. I’ll take a instant read thermometer and poke into the brisket to feel how tender it is. I do not want to feel any resistance when I’m poking into the brisket. If there is still resistance, it may not be ready. Once I can poke the probe in without any resistance, I know the brisket is done. The final temperature could be 190-210. I have had briskets totally done in that large range, so you really have to poke the brisket to know if it is done. Doing a jiggle test below demonstrates when a brisket is done. If you tap the brisket it should jiggle just like the video below.You can also pick up the brisket and use your fingers to see how soft it is. If it feels extremely tender and soft, it is probably done.
  • On average I find the briskets are done around 205F but this can differ from one brisket to the next.
  • Resting the Brisket: I've changed this step dramatically over the years and I think I have it mastered. I simply leave it wrapped sitting on a counter with a towel over top for about 2 hours or until the internal temp hits 150F. Once it hits this temperature, you can either put it in a warmed cooler or I put it in an oven that can maintain a keep warm temperature of 150F. You can rest your brisket for hours as long as the internal temperature does not drop below 140F. I typically let me brisket rest a minimum of 2-3 hours. The longer the better. As the brisket rests, it reabsorbs the moisture and juices making a much juicier meal.
  • Cutting the Brisket : I start by cutting the flat. You want to cut about 1/4" thick slices. It is important to cut across the grain of the meat. Once you have cut about half way up the brisket, you will notice another line of fat in your slices. This is where the point meets the flat. You want to stop at this point. You will want to cut the point in half, perpendicular to the slices of the flat. One half of the point will consist of good meat and the other will consist of a lot of fatty meat. It isn't hard to identify. Cut the good side of the point in 1/4"-1/3" slices again. Remove any remaining large fat layers before serving.
  • Serve Immediately!

BEST SMOKED BEEF BRISKET RECIPE | OKLAHOMA JOE’S AUSTRALIA



Best Smoked Beef Brisket Recipe | Oklahoma Joe’s Australia image

Expertly smoked beef brisket is a thing of beauty. The relaxed slices of smoky, tender beef almost melt in your mouth. The burnt ends are one of the best bites in barbecue. If possible, trim, inject, and season the brisket 12 hours before smoking, keeping it refrigerated.

Provided by Oklahoma Joe’s

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 480 minutes

Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 14

Brisket
6.3 -7.7 kg beef brisket
3 cups beef stock, divided
2-3 tablespoons peanut oil or other high temp cooking oil
1 cup brisket rub
½ cup Texas-style BBQ sauce, thin-red
Equipment
meat syringe
remote probe thermometer
food-safe spray bottle
3 pieces of heavy-duty foil
1 sheet of peach butcher paper
wood splits about 5 cm in diameter and 30 cm long
cooler (warm and dry) or hot-box for holding

Steps:

  • 1. Trim the brisket – Separate the point from the flat or have your butcher do it. Trim the exterior fat from the point. Trim the exterior fat on the flat down to 60 mm. HOT TIP – Separating the flat from the point by following the fat seam with a sharp boning knife. 2. Inject the brisket – Use a meat syringe to inject 1½ cups of the beef stock into the brisket flat and point. Inject the stock evenly across the cuts of meat in about a 2.5 cm grid pattern. 3. Season the brisket – Pat the surfaces of the brisket pieces dry. Wipe the surface with a thin coat of high temperature cooking oil. 4. Set up the smoker – Place a water pan in your Oklahoma Joe’s® Smoker filled three-fourths full. Stack 6 small wood splits in the fire box. Pour a chimney starter full of lit charcoal on top of and around the wood. Preheat to 135°C at the level of the cooking grate. 5. Smoke the brisket – Place the brisket pieces on the smoker and monitor the internal temperature with a remote probe thermometer. Put a half cup of beef stock in a spray bottle and spritz the brisket at the start and every hour until wrapped. Smoke the brisket until it is at least 70°C internally AND has a dark, almost black, exterior. This can take anywhere from 5 – 8 hours depending on the size of your brisket. 6. Wrap the brisket – Place the flat on two sheets of foil. Place the butcher paper on top of this. Roll the foil and paper edges together towards the flat, sealing it up in a delicious meat cocoon as shown below. Wrap the point in a single sheet of foil. Place both back into the smoker to finish cooking. 7. Rest the flat – When the flat has an internal temperature above 95°C AND is tender like butter when inserting a probe or toothpick, take the flat off of the smoker and let it rest for 1 hour in a warm cooler or a hot-box. You can use an empty microwave in a pinch. 8. Make the burnt ends – When the point has an internal temperature above 95°C AND is tender like butter when inserting a temp probe or toothpick, it is ready to make into burnt ends. Cut the point into 2.5 cm cubes. Season the cubes with more beef rub and place them in a small pan, such as a half-sized steam pan. Pour 1 cup of beef stock into the pan and put this back into the smoker for 30-45 minutes. 9. Sauce the burnt ends – Mix any stock left in the pan with an equal amount of Texas style BBQ sauce and brush it onto the burnt ends. Put them back into the smoker for 15-20 minutes when you slice the brisket flat. 10. Slice brisket flat – Use a long sharp knife to slice against the grain of the brisket flat, cutting it into pencil-width sized slices. Serve with burnt ends.
