Barbecue Beef Brisket
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 5 pounds beef brisket
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper to create a dry rub.
- Rub the dry rub all over the beef brisket, covering it evenly. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the grill or smoker to 250°F, using hickory or mesquite wood for added smoky flavor.
- Place the beef brisket on the grill or smoker and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195°F, basting with barbecue sauce every hour during the last 2 hours of cooking.
- Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the grill or smoker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- While the brisket is resting, pour 1/2 cup beef broth into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in 1 cup of barbecue sauce and heat until warmed through.
- Slice the brisket and serve with the warm barbecue sauce on the side. Enjoy!
Barbecue beef brisket has a rich history rooted in the American South, particularly in Texas, where it's a staple of traditional barbecue cuisine. This slow-cooked, smoky dish has been perfected by pitmasters like Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue in Austin, Texas, whose mouthwatering brisket has garnered worldwide acclaim. The key to a perfect brisket lies in the rub, smoke, and low, slow cooking process, resulting in tender, flavorful meat with a beautiful bark. While Texas-style brisket is renowned, other regions like Kansas City and Memphis have their own unique takes on this beloved dish, each with its own distinct flavor profiles and cooking techniques. Today, the best barbecue beef brisket can still be found in Texas, where pitmasters continue to honor and innovate upon this timeless tradition.
