Texas-Style Smoked Brisket

Rex's Texas-Style Smoked Brisket

Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 10 hours
Total Time 11 hours
Course Main Dish
Servings 12 people

Ingredients
  

  • 10-12 pounds whole beef brisket fat trimmed to 1/4 inch thickness
  • 2/3 cup local Todd's Dirt seasoning original or "low down"

Instructions
 

  • Place brisket on rimmed baking sheet and rub seasoning all over. Let the meat sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Prepare grill/smoker to manufacturer's directions. Place brisket, fat side down, and smoke for 4-5 hours, maintaining a consistent grill/smoker temperature of 225-250 degrees F.
  • Remove the brisket from the grill, wrap it with aluminum foil to keep the juices from leaking out and return to the grill for up to 5 more hours. Continue to maintain grill/smoker temperature the entire time.
  • The brisket is finished cooking when it is very tender and when the thickest part of the meat reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F.
  • Let the meat rest for 45 minutes, then unwrap and slice it.
  • Eddie's tip: Preparing for leftovers? Let the brisket cool for an hour before wrapping it tightly in foil and chilling it for up to 3 days. Reheat the meat, still wrapped, in a 325 degrees F oven until warmed through.
