TWICE COOKED BARBECUE BRISKET

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, combine brisket with 1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp black pepper, onions, garlic, bay leaves and crab boil.
• Add cold water to cover brisket by 6 inches.
• Bring to a rolling boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until brisket is fork tender, but not falling apart, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on the size of meat.
• When tender, remove from stock pot and cool.
• This may be done one day in advance of grilling.
• When ready to grill, place coals on one side of the barbecue pit.
• This will leave the other side of grill to place the brisket during smoking.
• Soak an ample supply of your favorite smoke wood in water and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining salt, chile powder, black pepper, cumin and granulated garlic.
• Blend well to create a seasoning rub.
• Place the brisket on a large cookie sheet and coat each side in the Worcestershire sauce.
• Spread the seasoning mixture evenly over each side of the brisket.
• Using a pair of tongs, place the seasoned brisket directly over the white hot coals to sear the meat and set the flavor, approximately 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
• When the meat has been seared and browned, remove it to the cool side of the pit and place a few handfuls of smoke wood over the hot coals.
• Close the lid and allow the brisket to smoke off of the direct heat until full flavored and heated thoroughly, approximately 1 hour.
• Slice and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce.

BARBECUE BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.
• Roast in a covered roaster at 325 degrees for 3 to 4 hours or until tender; cool and refrigerate a short while for easier slicing.
• Mix remaining ingredients together except for the lemon.
• Cut off excess fat on roast and slice meat thinly. Cut across the grain.
• Place layers of meat in a 9 by 12 casserole dish and top each layer with sauce. I usually get 2 layers of meat with a 5 pound brisket.
• Put thinly sliced lemon over the top layer, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until heated through.
• Remove lemon slices before serving.
• This freezes well; thaw overnight and then reheat. I remove lemon slices before freezing.

THE ONE AND ONLY BARBECUED BRISKET

Steps:

• The day before serving pat the dry rub into every pore on the brisket and place in a large bag, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap, to marinate overnight.
• Early in the morning take brisket out of refrigerator and bring to room temperature while you start your fire and heat to 210ºF.
• Place brisket on opposite side from the firebox with the fat side up, so juices will help baste the meat.
• Maintain pit temperature between 180º and 220º and smoke 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours per pound.
• Every hour or so, if you have to use mop sauce you may do so.
• (The fat is going to keep the meat moist.) Remove brisket and let sit for 20 minutes.
• Cut the fatty top section away from the top section and the second section.
• Slice both brisket sections across the grain.
• Serve the barbeque sauce on the side, not on the meat.
