This traditional recipe for smoked Texas brisket will help you achieve barbecue perfection. A well-balanced combination of savory, sweet, and smoky flavors are imparted by the rub, and slow smoking guarantees a juicy, tender finish. Ideal for parties and festivities!
Ingredients: 1 whole packer-cut brisket 12-14 pounds. 1/4 cup coarse salt. 1/4 cup black pepper. 1/4 cup paprika. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tablespoons garlic powder. 2 tablespoons onion powder. 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper. Wood chunks or chips for smoking oak or hickory.
Instructions: Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a 1/4-inch layer. Combine salt, pepper, paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create the rub. Generously coat the brisket with the rub, covering all sides. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat your smoker to 225F 107C. Use oak or hickory wood for an authentic Texas flavor. Place the brisket on the smoker grates, fat side up. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Maintain a steady temperature and smoke for approximately 1.5 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 203F 95C. Wrap the brisket in butcher paper during the last few hours of smoking to retain moisture. Once done, remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce on the side.
