Brisket for beginners
Australian 15 Mins Prep
- Season the brisket generously with the barbacoa Rub, ensuring an even coating all over.
- Allow the brisket to marinate at room temperature for one 1 hour. Prepare your barbecue or smoker for indirect cooking and aim for a steady temperature of 120ºC.
- Make a foil parcel for the spices and fill it with bay leaves, cinnamon and coriander seeds. Close it and pierce with a skewer to allow the smoke to escape. Place the foil parcel directly above the flame to create aromatic smoke.
- Position the brisket over indirect heat with the thicker tip closest to the heat source. In a spray bottle mix the vinegar and liquid smoke together. After the crust has formed, spray with the apple cider vinegar and smoke mix every 15 minutes.
- Smoke the brisket until the internal temperature reaches 65ºC, then remove it from the barbecue. Depending on the size of your brisket this can take up to 4 hours.
- Wrap the brisket tightly in aluminium foil and return it to the barbecue. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches about 96ºC. Once cooked, rest the brisket for a minimum of 2 hours, before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your perfectly smoked brisket with your favourite sides.
