Impress your holiday guests with a mouthwatering smoked brisket! This recipe combines a flavorful spice rub with slow smoking for a tender and juicy result. Perfect for festive gatherings and creating unforgettable barbecue memories.
Ingredients: 1 whole beef brisket 12-15 pounds. 1/4 cup kosher salt. 1/4 cup black pepper. 1/4 cup smoked paprika. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tablespoons garlic powder. 2 tablespoons onion powder. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper. 1/4 cup olive oil. 1 cup beef broth. Wood chips hickory or oak, soaked in water.
Instructions: Get your smoker ready by heating it up to 107F 225C. Cut off the brisket's extra fat, but leave a thin layer for flavor. Gather smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and black pepper in a bowl. This is how you make the rub. After rubbing the brisket with olive oil, cover it all over with the spice rub. Add soaked wood chips to the smoker with the brisket to make it taste better. Keep the temperature steady and smoke the brisket for one hour for every pound. To keep the meat moist after the first smoke, put beef broth in a pan and put it in the smoker. Keep smoking until the temperature inside reaches 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit 90 to 96 degrees Celsius. Before you serve the brisket, cover it with foil and let it rest for 30 minutes. Cut the brisket across the grain and top it with your favorite BBQ sauce.
