Print Recipe

A guide to making the perfect Texas Beef Brisket, highlighting the essential techniques and ingredients for a flavorful and tender result.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole beef brisket (10–12 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Wood chips for smoking (hickory or oak)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).
  2. Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving about 1/4 inch of fat cap.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  4. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket, ensuring even coverage.
  5. Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side up, and add wood chips for smoke flavor.
  6. Smoke the brisket for about 1.5 hours per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).
  7. Wrap the brisket in butcher paper or aluminum foil when it reaches 160°F (71°C) to retain moisture.
  8. Once done, let the brisket rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For best results, use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature.
  • Letting the brisket rest is crucial for juicy slices.
  • Experiment with different wood chips for varying smoke flavors.
