Texas Brisket

Ingredients:

• 1 beef brisket weighing 2.7 kg.
• 1 tbsp. yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 3/4 cup paprika
• 2 tablespoons ground chipotle pepper
• 1/4 cup black pepper
• 2 tbsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup salt
• 2 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp. cayenne pepper

Preparation:

1. Trim the fat cap off the brisket by about 0.5-0.3 cm. Brush the brisket with a thin layer of yellow mustard. Mix the sugar and spices. Rub the spice mixture into both sides of the meat.
2. Place the brisket in a smoker preheated to 190-205°F (90-95°C). Smoke until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 185-205°F (85-90°C), about 1.5 hours per pound (0.5 kg). Remove the finished brisket from the smoker and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
3. And the next morning use the brisket for cooking Texas Toast.
