Traeger Smoked Brisket
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 whole beef brisket, 10-12 pounds
- 1/4 cup of your favorite dry rub seasoning
- 1/4 cup of yellow mustard
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Trim the excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat on the surface.
- Coat the brisket with 1/4 cup of yellow mustard, then sprinkle the dry rub seasoning evenly over the entire brisket, pressing it into the meat.
- Cover the brisket with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill and set the temperature to 225°F. Preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
- Place the brisket directly on the grill grates, fat side up, and insert a meat probe into the thickest part of the brisket.
- Close the lid and smoke the brisket for 6-8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 203°F. Add hardwood pellets as needed to maintain the smoke.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of beef broth and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Heat over medium heat until warmed through.
- Once the brisket reaches 203°F, carefully remove it from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Slice the brisket against the grain into 1/4 inch thick slices. Serve with the warm beef broth and apple cider vinegar mixture, and barbecue sauce on the side.
- Enjoy your delicious Traeger smoked brisket!
