Smoked BBQ Brisket
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole beef brisket (10-12 pounds)
- 1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ rub
- 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 1 cup of BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Trim the excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the surface.
- Season the brisket with 1/4 cup of BBQ rub, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
- Prepare your smoker according to manufacturer's instructions and preheat to 225°F.
- Place the brisket on the smoker rack and smoke for 6-8 hours, maintaining a consistent temperature and adding wood chips as needed for smoke flavor.
- In a spray bottle, mix 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of beef broth. Spritz the brisket every hour to keep it moist.
- After 6-8 hours, check the internal temperature of the brisket. It should reach 195-205°F for optimal tenderness.
- Once the brisket reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the smoker and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. Let it rest for 1 hour to allow the juices to redistribute.
- While the brisket is resting, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing 1 cup of BBQ sauce with any remaining BBQ rub.
- Unwrap the brisket and brush the BBQ glaze over the surface.
- Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
Smoked BBQ Brisket has a rich history rooted in the American South, particularly in Texas, where it's a culinary icon. This dish dates back to the early days of cattle ranching, when ranchers would slow-cook tough cuts of meat, like brisket, over open flames for hours, resulting in tender, flavorful meat. Today, renowned pitmasters like Aaron Franklin of Franklin Barbecue in Austin, Texas, have elevated the art of smoking brisket to new heights, drawing BBQ enthusiasts from around the world. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the quality of the meat, the spice rub, and the slow smoking process, which can take up to 12 hours. For the best version of this dish, head to Texas, where you'll find some of the most authentic and mouthwatering smoked BBQ brisket.
