Excellent Smoked Brisket

[Mama Mangia]

EXCELLENT SMOKED BRISKET

This recipe is best prepared a day ahead!


Let's start with the rub:

1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup salt (I prefer kosher salt)
4 Tbsp chili powder
2 Tbsp garlic powder
4 Tbsp black pepper
4 Tbsp dried mustard
2 Tbsp cumin
4 Tbsp paprika

This should be kept in a covered container in your pantry for your smoking/grilling season.


Begin by rubbing down your brisket with a light coating of mustard; coat with rub; wrap and refrigerate at least 12 hours.




And now for the mop:


In saucepan and over medium/low heat, add:

1/2 cup extra light olive oil

Add and start to saute but do not brown:
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced

Add immediately:
1 cup cider vinegar
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 can dark beer

Add:
1 Tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 Tsp salt
1 Tbsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp mustard powder
1 Tsp cumin
Juice from 1 lemon


Simmer for 30 minutes -it is now ready to use.


Keep the mop over low heat while smoking the brisket; stirring every 15 minutes.
