Barbecue Braised Bourbon Beef With Mustard Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• For the rub: Mix the paprika, 1 tablespoon each of salt and black pepper, the brown sugar, and the cayenne. Rub spice mixture all over brisket, wrap tightly, and refrigerate overnight.
• Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium to medium-low fire for indirect grilling.
• For the sauce: Mix the tomato puree, beer, celery, onion, 1/2 cup of the vinegar, the brown sugar, mustard, bacon, garlic, chiles, bay leaves, chili powder, 1 tablespoon salt, and black pepper to taste in a large disposable aluminum pan. Put brisket in the sauce.
• Throw a handful of drained wood chips on the hot coals, put the pan over the cooler side of the grill, and cover so the vent holes are directly over the brisket. Baste meat every 30 minutes, turning occasionally and adding water to the pan as necessary to keep meat partially submerged, until the meat is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 200 degrees F, about 3 3/4 hours. Replenish the charcoal as needed to maintain a medium to medium-low fire.
• Transfer the brisket to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Skim the fat from the braising sauce and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cider vinegar and salt to taste. Reheat if necessary. Thinly slice brisket across the grain and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon some sauce over the meat and pass the rest at the table.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• In a small bowl, combine the thyme, rosemary, paprika, dry mustard, and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Sprinkle the spice blend all over the roast. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• Heat 2 Tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven with a tight-fitting oven-proof lid. Brown roast well on all sides. In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, bourbon, Dijon mustard and molasses. Pour over roast. Add onions and garlic and cover.
• Place covered Dutch oven in the preheated oven and cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until roast is fork-tender.
• Take Dutch oven out of oven and increase heat to 425. Remove roast from Dutch oven and place on a rack in a roasting pan. In food processor or blender, combine about 1/4 cup of the onion mixture in the Dutch oven with 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard and 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary; process until smooth. Brush top and sides of roast with about 2/3 of mustard mixture. Place roast back in oven until glaze begins to brown. Flip roast over, top with remaining mustard mixture, and return to oven to brown again.
