For the tastiest and most tender pull apart Beef Brisket, try cousin Todd’s Method:
Summary: Shake Rubs all over meat, inject with packaged Beef Broth or mix Stock cubes in hot water, Smoke lownslow all day, bring inside and put in covered steel casserole oven pan ½ submerged in broth and simmer overnight at 225F. Serve for lunch in fresh bread rolls with coleslaw and smokey Chipotle BBQ Sauce.
1. Remove 4-5 kg Brisket from bag, rinse off and pat dry with paper towel.
2. Apply generous amount of SweetnSmokey Cajun & some Cherry Rub to the non-fat cap side of the brisket.
3. Turn over with fat cap up.
4. Using a meat injector, carefully inject Beef Broth into the meat; every 2-3 square inches. Be sure to go slow and extract the needle as you inject the broth, so it doesn’t spurt back at you!.
5. Lightly pat dry any juice that has run out.
6. Apply generous amount of Rubs to this side of the meat.
7. Smoke lownslow around 200-250F for approx 8-10 hours. Use Apple & Cherry Chunks smoldering on coals, or Apple and Cherry Wood Chips for a Gas or Electric Smoker. Apple smoke makes meat moist and Cherry adds sweetness.
8. After smoking is done, bring it inside and place Brisket in a steel covered roasting pan, add more Beef Broth around meat so it is ½ way up the sides, don’t get any on the nice bark top surface.
9. With the cover loosely on the roasting pan or with lid vent open, roast at 225F degrees in oven for a minimum of 8 hours. Go as long as 15 as it only makes it taste better. Do not remove the cover!
N.B. Ensure the lid will allow some steam out otherwise the steam may soften the smoked crust.
10. Remove from oven and leave lid on for up to 30 minutes before opening.
11. Slice the brisket across the grain.
12. Serve in Buns with coleslaw and MHS Chipotle BBQ sauce and enjoy!
The smokey taste was great, it was very juicy no need to put gravy on it, it just melted in the mouth. The bark stayed crusty because the steam was allowed to leak out of the loose lid, it actually steamed up the kitchen.
The overnight beef broth 1/2 high bath was a great idea of Todd's.
