Spicy Bbq Brisket Recipes

OVEN-BARBECUED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• Make the rub. Mix all ingredients well in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place oven rack in upper-middle position and heat oven to 275 degrees. Rub dry rub all over brisket and poke holes all over with a fork. Place half of bacon going crosswise in a broiler safe 9 by 13-inch pan (it's best not to use glass). Put brisket fat side down on top of bacon. Lay the rest of the bacon crosswise on top of brisket, wrapping it down around the sides, and tucking any excess under. Cover pan with foil and place in oven for 4 hours.
• Take pan out of oven. Carefully flip brisket over, fat side up. Replace foil and return to oven. Turn off heat and leave brisket in oven 1 additional hour.
• Pour accumulated juices from brisket into large measuring cup or a bowl. Remove bacon from brisket and chop into pieces. Cook bacon in medium saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until fat has rendered. Add onion and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. Take off heat and add vinegar and dark brown sugar. Return to heat and simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes.
• Skim fat from accumulated juices and add chicken broth to make a total of 3 cups. Add to mixture in saucepan and reduce until about 3 cups in volume, 8-10 minutes. Take off heat and add ketchup. Mix well and strain if desired. (I like to strain about half the solid pieces out and leave the rest). After straining, add chipotle peppers.
• Turn oven to broil. Brush brisket with 1 cup sauce and broil until top is lightly browned and fat starts to crisp. Cut brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch slices and serve with extra sauce.

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.

SPICY BBQ BRISKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 ̊. Set a rack in a large roasting pan and add enough water to come just below the rack. Place the pan over two burners on the stovetop and bring the water to a simmer over low heat.
• Meanwhile, for the brisket: Combine the brown sugar, chile powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, mustard powder and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Trim most of the fat from the brisket, leaving about a 1/2-inch-thick layer. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket. Turn off the heat under the roasting pan. Set the brisket fat-side up on the rack and cover the pan tightly with foil. Place the pan in the oven and bake until the brisket is very tender and the meat can be easily flaked with a fork but is not falling apart, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, for the mop: Combine the apple juice, cider vinegar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• When the brisket is finished roasting, preheat a grill to medium. Grill the brisket, brushing with the mop and turning occasionally, until the fat is crispy and the brisket is charred in spots, about 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the brisket against the grain and brush with the remaining mop. Butter the buns, then toast on the grill, about 1 minute. Serve the brisket with the buns, BBQ sauce, coleslaw and pickles.

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the rub: In small bowl, combine the sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
• Pour the beef broth into a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Using a paring knife, score the surface of the meat all over. Massage the rub into the meat. Cover the dish tightly with foil and roast until very tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours, adding water 1/2 cup at a time if the roasting juices start to dry up.
• For the sauce: In a food processor, combine the garlic, celery, onion, tomato sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, smoked paprika, chili powder and salt. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth, scraping the side of the food processor bowl as needed with a spatula. Transfer the sauce to a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 30 minutes.
• Brush 1/3 cup of the sauce over the surface of the brisket.
• Slice the brisket into 3/4-inch pieces and arrange on a serving platter. Serve the extra sauce alongside.
