Prairie Fire Beef Brisket Recipes

PRAIRIE FIRE BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. Prepare brisket by placing it in a large pan and poking about 40 holes in each side with a fork. Season with garlic salt and black pepper. Pour juice from peppers on each side of the brisket. Cover pan with foil and cook indirectly for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Prepare BBQ sauce by bringing all ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes.
• On a large double layer of foil, place 1/2 the onions and 1/2 the jar of peppers. Remove brisket from grill and lay it on top of the onions and peppers. Brush brisket with 1/3 cup BBQ sauce. Top with remaining onions and peppers, wrap tightly with the foil and grill indirectly for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from grill and unwrap. To serve, cut into thin slices against the grain. Serve with remaining sauce.

BRAISED CORNED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Discard any flavoring packet from corned beef. Brush brisket with browning sauce on both sides. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown brisket on both sides in the hot oil, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
• Place brisket on a rack set in a roasting pan. Scatter onion and garlic slices over brisket and add water to roasting pan. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until meat is tender, about 6 hours.

PRAIRIE FIRE DIP

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the beans, cheese, onion, garlic, chili powder and hot pepper sauce.
• Cook over low heat until cheese is melted and dip is heated through.
• Serve with corn chips.

SPICY SMOKED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Bring brisket to room temperature early in the morning, about 1 hour.
• Whisk paprika, salt, sugar, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, garlic, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon for dry rub together in a small bowl. Apply rub liberally to the complete brisket and leave at room temperature while you prepare the smoker.
• Preheat a smoker for indirect heat to 225 to 250 degrees F (107 to 121 degrees F) according to manufacturer's instructions. Add wood chips to the charcoal and place a small cast iron pan of water over the fire.
• Lay brisket, fat-side up, about 8 inches away from the fire and smoke for 1 hour, maintaining the smoker's internal temperature at 200 to 225 degrees F (93 to 107 degrees F). Add 12 to 15 charcoal briquettes, replenish wood chips, and add more water to the pan; smoke for 1 more hour. Wrap brisket in aluminum foil, replenish charcoal, wood chips, and water, and smoke for 1 more hour.
• Meanwhile, mix hot chili sauce, beer, brown sugar, and onion for finishing sauce until well combined. Remove brisket from the smoker and place on a second sheet of aluminum foil. Unwrap brisket, being careful of the hot steam, and pour finishing sauce over the meat. Re-wrap brisket tightly with both pieces of foil and return to the smoker.
• Smoke brisket, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 1 more hour.
• Remove brisket from the smoker and let it rest in the foil for 45 minutes. To serve, slice it against the grain.
