BARBECUED BEEF BRISKET
Brisket is a cut of beef that comes from the animal’s lower chest. It’s a strong muscle full of connective tissue, which means it requires a long braising to break everything down. After a long marinade and a good sear, let your brisket cook low and slow on a closed grill for several hours, then serve it with your favourite barbecue sauce.
Yield: Serves 12.

BARBECUED BEEF BRISKET
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp freshly ground pepper
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp packed golden brown sugar
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 4 lb (2 kg) boneless beef brisket, fat trimmed

Directions
- To prepare rub, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, 2 tbsp salt, pepper, sugar, brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Spread rub all over beef. Place beef in an extra-large heavy zip-lock plastic bag. Seal bag and place on a tray. Refrigerate for 8 hours.
- Preheat natural gas barbecue on medium-high heat for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove beef from bag. Sprinkle with additional salt. Sear beef on both sides, about 5 - 7 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, place a rack in a roasting pan or foil roasting pan and pour in 1/2 inch of water. Transfer beef to rack in pan. Cover pan with foil.
- Turn barbecue control down to low heat or a setting that maintains a temperature of about 300°F. Place pan on barbecue grid. With lid down, roast beef, rotating pan every 30 minutes and adding additional water as needed to maintain 1/2 inch in pan, until tender, about 3 1/2 - 4 hours. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
