Beef Brisket
1 whole beef brisket (point and flat) about 9-11 pounds
Use about 1/4 of Kieto's Dry Rub Seasoning (Recipe in Kitchen Club)
or
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Mix all dry ingredients together in a small bowl to create the rub.
Apply dry rub liberally to all sides of brisket. Wrap tightly in plastic
wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 48 hours. One-hour prior to cooking,
remove brisket from refrigerator and unwrap.
Make a fire using 2 quarts of charcoal briquettes in a pile on one side
of a Weber kettle grill.
Wrap 4 - 6 hickory wood chunks in a double sheet of heavy-duty tin foil,
and prick at least 6 holes in the top of the foil pouch with a knife
tip.
When fire is ready, place tin foil pouch on top of ash covered coals.
Set grill rack in place, and position brisket, fat side up, on side of
rack opposite fire.
Make sure that both top and bottom grill vents are open. Position holes
in lid directly over brisket and cover grill.
Grill/smoke brisket without removing the lid, so that smoke permeates
the meat for 2 hours.
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 300
degrees.
Take brisket off the grill and wrap in a double layer of foil that is
well sealed.
Place the brisket on a baking sheet and bake until internal temperature
of meat reaches 210 degrees exactly, about 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Remove
brisket from oven, loosen foil at one end to release the steam, allow to
rest for 30 minutes. Drain juices into a bowl and remove fat, then add
to your favorite barbecue sauce. (My Recipe is coming Wednesday).
Unwrap brisket and separate the flat cut from the point cut.
Slice thinly across the grain of the meat.
