BBQ Brisket
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 5-6 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 BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix 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 your smoker to 225°F (110°C) using hickory or oak wood for smoke flavor.
- Place the brisket on the smoker and cook for 6-8 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature and adding wood chips as needed for smoke.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup BBQ sauce and 1/2 cup beef broth. Heat over low heat until warmed through.
- After the brisket has smoked for 6-8 hours and reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C), remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the warm BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy!
BBQ brisket has a rich history rooted in the American South, particularly in Texas, where it's a beloved staple of traditional barbecue cuisine. This slow-cooked, smoky, and tender dish has been perfected by pitmasters and chefs over generations, with each region adding its own unique twist. The best versions of this dish can be found in renowned Texas barbecue joints like Franklin Barbecue in Austin or Pecan Lodge in Dallas, where the brisket is expertly smoked for hours over oak or mesquite wood. The key to a mouthwatering BBQ brisket lies in the quality of the meat, the perfect blend of spices, and the patience to let it cook low and slow until it's melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Whether it's served sliced, chopped, or in a sandwich, BBQ brisket is a true culinary delight that continues to captivate food enthusiasts worldwide.
