Homemade Brisket Sausage Recipes

PIT SMOKED BEEF BRISKET AND HOT SMOKED SAUSAGE WITH TEXAS BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together, saving 1/4 cup, and rub the brisket vigorously. Store brisket well sealed overnight in a shallow pan.;
• In a medium sauce pot, place bacon, onion garlic, and celery. Cook over medium heat until browned. Add 4 bottles of beer to the pot. It's going to be a long day; you will need the other beers for the cook. Bring the pot to a boil. Add rub, mustard, pepper, zest, juice, soy sauce and vinegar. Continue to slowly simmer, for 1 hour, as the meat smokes.
• Start a charcoal fire on one side of the grill. Add post oak pieces that have been well soaked (1 hour), or still green and uncured. Control the heat of the fire by closing the air vents to the grill. Place brisket, fat side up, on indirect heat (not over the fire) and close the top of the grill. Grill should be 300 degrees. Baste meat continuously with mop every 30 minutes. When turning meat always carefully use a spatula and never prick the meat. Tongs or forks may pierce the meat allowing juices to escape making the meat dry and tough. Brisket will be done in about 4 1/2 to 5 hours or when internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Allow to rest 30 minutes before slicing.
• Remove any excess fat and slice brisket across grain 3/8 inches thick. Texans don't use barbecue sauce, but they haven't tried these. Serve hot smoked sausages split, brisket sliced, BBQ sauce, white bread and pickled peppers.
• Place sausages on smoking grill beside the brisket with indirect heat, not over the fire. Cook at 300 degrees for 1 1/4 hours.
• Chipolte BBQ Sauce: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, smashed 1 cup chopped tomatoes 1 cup ketchup 1/2 cup coffee 3 tablespoons molasses 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1 tablespoon Worcesterchire sauce 2 chipotle peppers In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, place oil, onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer for about 8 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and puree in food processor. Serve right away or let cool and refrigerate.
• Pickled Peppers: 3 cups cider vinegar 3 cups pineapple juice 1 tablespoon cracked peppercorns 2 teaspoons thyme leaves 2 bay leaves 1 teaspoon salt 40 jalapenos 25 garlic cloves 1 red onion, peeled and chopped 2 carrots, peeled and shredded
• In a large saucepan over high heat, bring vinegar, juice, peppercorns, thyme, bay leaves and salt to a full boil. Add jalapeno, garlic, onion and carrots and bring to a boil again. Remove from heat. Transfer to a large container and seal.

BRISKET AND SAUSAGE SANDWICH COMBO

Steps:

• Prepare 3 days ahead at least a day. 24-72 hours the longer the better.
• Cover Brisket in Dawgs Bark, place in food safe plastic bag, and refrigerate according to step 1
• Ready to cook, you need to provide consistent 220 to 240 degree temperature via smoker, electric smoker, charcoal grill and even an oven. Consistent for around 20 hours or 2 hours per pound in the air with a pan to catch juices but not cook in them. Many peeps smoke fat side up, I don't. Go with your gut.
• I use mesquite to smoke but most people in my area use pecan and or oak. Depending on your technique you will need to re-add wood about every 3 hours after wood smoke seems to dissipate. Careful to not smoke so much you "tar the brisket" (Shawn-ism). Meaning the finished brisket kinda taste like tar. Good rule of thumb is less smoke the better. We're not cooking for a championship red ring, plus trust me it will happen.
• Do not smoke indoors (duh) Don't sue me bro...
• Keep the damn lid shut. You lose massive temp and time admiring your hunk of meat. Fight the urge.
• Briskets get people to 2nd guessing a lot. In fact a 10 pound brisket that should take 20 hours Texas Butter rules, might only take 15 hours to get to a perfectly smoked brisket. To keep you from questioning yourself along this long cook just see if your finger can push through the meat with ease (thick part). It will have about the same resistance as if you poked through a piece of watermelon meat. Wrap in foil and rest an hour on counter.
• This is where you can easily take off any thick outside fat.
• Cook your favorite sausage and slice it in ¼ inch thick. Above was done in a pan mostly just heated up because it's pre-cooked from the sausage company. I use a Texas hill country type sausage that is along German heritage.
• Bake your Texas Toast according to it's box. You can use any bread available, this was my choice.
• Slice about 3 slices of ¼ inch thick brisket then break into pieces.
• From bottom to top: Texas Toast, brisket, sausage, Dirtyleg, and another slice of Texas Toast.
• Garnish with a couple three pepperoncini peppers.
• Ring some cowbell!
