Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4.5 pounds beef brisket
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 0.5 cup beef broth
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
- Pat the brisket dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the brisket.
- Place the brisket fat-side up in the smoker.
- Smoke for approximately 8 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Wrap the brisket tightly in butcher paper or foil. Pour the beef broth into the wrap.
- Return the wrapped brisket to the smoker and continue to cook for another 2-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 200-205°F (93-96°C) and the brisket is probe-tender.
- Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest, still wrapped, for at least 1 hour before slicing against the grain.
Notes
For an even richer flavor, you can add a Texas-style rub with chili powder. Ensure your smoker maintains a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process.
