Slow-Smoked Texas Beef Brisket
Beef brisket slow-smoked over oak wood until the bark is crackling and the meat is incredibly tender, served with crisp roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Beef brisket flat
1 tbsp Coarse black pepper
1.25 tsp Sea salt
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1.5 cups Asparagus spears
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your smoker to 225°F using oak or hickory wood for an authentic Texas flavor profile.
Trim the excess fat from the brisket flat, leaving a consistent 1/4 inch fat cap to ensure the meat stays juicy during the long cook.
In a small bowl, combine the coarse black pepper, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and the garlic powder.
Apply the dry rub generously to all sides of the beef, pressing it firmly into the surface to help form the bark.
Place the brisket in the smoker and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Spritz the meat with apple cider vinegar every hour after the first 3 hours of smoking to maintain surface moisture.
Wrap the brisket tightly in peach butcher paper and return to the smoker until the internal temperature reaches 203°F.
Remove the brisket and let it rest in a cooler or warm oven for at least 1 hour before slicing against the grain.
While the meat rests, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil and the remaining 0.25 teaspoon of sea salt, then roast at 400°F for 10 minutes until tender-crisp.
