Quest for Fire: BBQ Beef Brisket

August 21, 2009

What could be more Paleo-American and more satisfying for a paleogastronomer than Texas Beef Brisket? This single big dish generates annual coverage in almost every major food magazine. What a compliment!

The shear size and time required to make beef brisket necessitate a two part recipe. The first will cover the precooking ritual, and the latter, our own smoking experiment. Stay tuned.

Our method is strongly inspired by “The Primal Grill”, or it by ours, but we have generously tweaked it to our own tastes.

Recipe: Beef Brisket Rub/Marinade

Ingredients

    1 5lb flat cut brisket

    3 tablespoons kosher salt
    1 tablespoon brown or dark sugar
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon of cumin powder
    1 teaspoon dry mustard
    1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Combine all powder ingredients in a mason jar. Cover the jar and shake to mix.
  2. Using a pairing or boning knife, remove small bits of the fat cap. A thin 1/8 inch layer will provide appropriate amount of fat for a juicy brisket.
  3. Place the brisket in a sided aluminum tray large enough to lay out the brisket. Liberally apply the rub to both sides of the brisket. Massage the rub deep into surface of the brisket. Cover the tray with aluminum foil, and place in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours.
  4. Come back tomorrow for our second phase of making Texas BBQ brisket.
