Best Maple Whiskey Glazed Beef Brisket Recipes

AWESOME GLAZED OVEN ROASTED BEEF BRISKET

Steps:

• 1. Gather your ingredients
• 2. Chef's Note: Picking a good brisket. You want a brisket that has a good cap of fat. During the slow cooking process that fat will melt and make the brisket nice and juicy. If it also has a lot of fat on the bottom, go ahead and trim that down.
• 3. Combine the DRY RUB ingredients in a bowl, and mix thoroughly, using your hands. Make sure to break up any lumps from the brown sugar.
• 4. Remove the brisket from the refrigerator, and thoroughly coat with the dry rub mixture.
• 5. Place the brisket (fat cap up) into a baking pan, and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
• 6. Chef's Note: The time sitting will warm the roast up a bit (which is a good thing), and it will help the meat absorb some of the spices.
• 7. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 350f (177c) degrees.
• 8. After the resting period, put the brisket into the oven, and allow to roast, uncovered for about 65 minutes.
• 9. Remove from oven, and add the beef stock to the roasting pan.
• 10. Cover the with a lid, or aluminum foil, and return to the oven.
• 11. Lower the oven temperature to 300f (150c)
• 12. Allow brisket to cook for an additional 3 to 4 hours, until the meat is fork tender.
• 13. Chef's Note: The best way to do a brisket is by temperature. If you have a remote probe insert it into the thickest part of the brisket, and use the following temperature guide.
• 14. To make beef brisket tender the internal temperature has to climb to 180f (82c) to 205f (96c). At these temperatures, the connective tissue will begin to break down into soft gelatin, without drying out the meat. The conversion of collagen in connective tissue into gelatin does not even start until an internal temperature of 140f (60c) is reached. The conversion becomes most efficient when the internal temperature begins to approach 212f (100c).
• 15. Chef's Note: I usually pull it out when the temperature reaches 198f (92c), on my remote... and then let carryover cooking take it up a few more degrees.
• 16. Remove from oven, cover, and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it across the grain. Enjoy.
• 17. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

TEXAS-STYLE BARBECUED BRISKET

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the brisket under cold running water and blot it dry with paper towels.
• 2. Combine the salt, chili powder, sugar, pepper, and cumin in a bowl and toss with your fingers to mix. Rub the spice mixture on the brisket on all sides. If you have time, wrap the brisket in plastic and let it cure, in the refrigerator, for 4 to 8 hours (or even overnight), but don't worry if you don't have time for this-it will be plenty flavorful, even if you cook it right away.
• 3. Set up a charcoal grill for indirect grilling and preheat it to low. No drip pan is necessary for this recipe.
• 4. When ready to cook, toss 1 1/2 cups of the wood chips on the coals (3/4 cup per side). Place the brisket, fat side up, in an aluminum foil pan (or make a pan with a double sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil). Place the pan in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill.
• 5. Smoke cook the brisket until tender enough to shred with your fingers; 6 hours will likely do it, but it may take as long as 8 (the cooking time will depend on the size of the brisket and heat of the grill). Baste the brisket from time to time with the fat and juices that accumulate in the pan. You'll need to add 10 to 12 fresh coals to each side every hour and toss more wood chips on the fresh coals; add about 3/4 cup chips per side every time you replenish the coals during the first 3 hours.
• 6. Remove the brisket pan from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it across the grain, using a sharp knife, electric knife, or cleaver. Transfer the sliced meat to a platter, pour the pan juices on top, and serve at once.
• Barbecue Sauce, the Texas Way
• The best Texas-style barbecue sauce combines the sweetness of Kansas City-style tomato sauces with the mouth-puckering tartness of a North Carolina vinegar sauce. I've come up with my own version-mix together equal parts of the Basic Barbecue Sauce and the North Carolina Vinegar Sauce . Serve this with barbecued brisket. For a really good sauce, add some meat drippings or a little chopped brisket.
