7 Ingredient Brisket Plus Salt And Pepper Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker to 225 degrees F using your preferred heating method. Then add the woodchips.
• Mix the salt and pepper to make the seasoning rub. Apply the rub to the brisket.
• Place the brisket on the smoker. Add more woodchips as necessary to supply smoke throughout cooking. Cook the brisket until it reaches and internal temperature of 170 degrees F, 4 to 5 hours.
• Carefully wrap the brisket in foil or butcher paper and return to the smoker. Continue cooking until the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, 1 to 2 more hours.
• Rest the meat, still wrapped, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Unwrap the brisket and slice the meat against the grain to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Place the ginger and onions in the pan and cook, turning as needed, until well charred, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside. In a 5.5-quart Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Rub the brisket completely with the five-spice powder and season with salt and pepper. Sear the brisket, turning as needed, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a plate. Add 1 cup of the stock to deglaze the pan, and then return the charred vegetables and seared brisket to the pan. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot and place it in the oven. Cook until fork-tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice against the grain. Divide between plates, pouring some of the braising liquid over each, then serve.
