Rock Roll Bbq Brisket Recipes

Steps:

• Allow the brisket to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Combine the salt, sugar, shallots, garlic powder, smoked paprika and cayenne in a small bowl to make a dry rub. Massage the rub into all sides of the meat, being sure to use it all. Lay the brisket on a sheet pan.
• Light a grill on low heat on one side, keeping the other side turned off; you should maintain a temperature of 250 to 300 degrees F the whole time you are grilling. Place the hickory chips in a foil pan. Cover with foil and cut slits in the top to release the smoke. Place the foil pan on the lit side of the grill. Place the brisket fat-side up on the turned-off side of the grill and close the cover. Cook, flipping a few times, until very tender but not falling apart and the center reaches about 200 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes, then slice the brisket into thin slices across the grain. Serve over buttered toasted buns or with Corn Cakes and Crunchy Slaw.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the wet ingredients.
• Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. While whisking, pour in the melted butter and stir until combined. Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined. (Be sure not to overwork the batter.) Fold in the Cheddar, corn, if using, and chives.
• Place the skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to coat the bottom. Ladle about 1/2 cup batter into the pan, spreading gently to form a thick circle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet in between each batch (this will help the corn cakes rise). Serve immediately, with more butter and maple syrup, if desired.
• Whisk together the mayo, dill, granulated sugar, vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, pepper and salt in a large bowl.
• Remove the stem from the broccoli and slice thinly, then add to the bowl. Cut the crown of the broccoli into small florets and add to the bowl, along with the cabbage and fennel. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing. Garnish with the fennel fronds.
• Serve immediately or store refrigerated in an airtight container. This recipe tastes even better the next day!

Steps:

• Trim the extreme excess fat from the brisket. Not too much though, fat is good for keeping this thing moist!
• Rinse the brisket and pat it dry with paper towels.
• Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
• Generously coat one side of the brisket with the rub. "Rub" it in with your hands really good. This is very important!
• Flip the brisket and repeat the process.
• Wrap the brisket in a few layers of plastic wrap. Then one layer of foil. Put it in the fridge for about 24 hours.
• Prepare your smoker for smoking or your grill for indirect heating. You are looking to have your cooking chamber between 225 and 240 degrees.
• When grill is up to temp, place the brisket on the rack and WAIT!
• Smoke the meat for about 1 1/2 hours per pound. You are looking for an internal temp of 175-185 degrees at the thickest part of the brisket.
• I use Pecan wood chips for flavoring, but feel free to use Hickory, Cherry, or Apple as well. I never use Mesquite wood. Also, make sure you don't use "green" wood or it will taste horrible! Add a handful of soaked wood chips every 45 minutes for the first 8 hours.
• Some people like to "mop" a brisket. If you want to do this, do it during the second half of the process. Look for a mop recipe online if you want to do this.
• When it is done, wrap the brisket in foil and let it stand for about 30 minutes.
• Slice it against the grain and serve with Rock and Roll BBQ sauce (on buns if you like).
• I realize this may be more work than you are looking for. BUT if you want REAL BBQ this is the way you gotta do it.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the brisket and about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce. Make sure there is enough sauce to moisten the meat but not overly saturate it.
• Lay each egg roll wrapper flat on a clean, dry work surface. Evenly fill the center of each wrapper with about 2 tablespoons of the brisket mixture and 1 tablespoon of the cabbage. Leave a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the wrapper.
• Using your finger, moisten the top portion of the wrapper with water.
• Starting at the bottom, fold the lower portion of the wrapper over the brisket filling. Tuck in each of the sides, as you would wrap a burrito. Continue rolling up from the bottom. Press to seal the moistened wrapper edge to the roll. Turn over to keep the seal at the bottom.
• To bake the egg rolls: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large sauté pan. Working in batches, brown the egg rolls, turning to cook them evenly in the hot oil, about 2 minutes per batch. Transfer them to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Once all the egg rolls are browned, transfer the rack and baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until heated through.
• To deep-fry the egg rolls: Fill a large Dutch oven halfway with oil and heat it to 350 degrees F. Working in batches of four, and returning the oil to 350 degrees F before each batch, fry the egg rolls until golden, turning occasionally, about 2 minutes; drain on paper towels.
• Serve the egg rolls with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
• Whisk together all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool before using. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Makes 3 cups.
• Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, then add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in the ginger and chile. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add the cabbage and salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a touch of water if the pan is too dry. Cook until the cabbage is tender and begins to caramelize. Season to taste. Makes about 4 cups.

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the brisket under cold running water and blot it dry with paper towels.
• 2. Combine the salt, chili powder, sugar, pepper, and cumin in a bowl and toss with your fingers to mix. Rub the spice mixture on the brisket on all sides. If you have time, wrap the brisket in plastic and let it cure, in the refrigerator, for 4 to 8 hours (or even overnight), but don't worry if you don't have time for this-it will be plenty flavorful, even if you cook it right away.
• 3. Set up a charcoal grill for indirect grilling and preheat it to low. No drip pan is necessary for this recipe.
• 4. When ready to cook, toss 1 1/2 cups of the wood chips on the coals (3/4 cup per side). Place the brisket, fat side up, in an aluminum foil pan (or make a pan with a double sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil). Place the pan in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill.
• 5. Smoke cook the brisket until tender enough to shred with your fingers; 6 hours will likely do it, but it may take as long as 8 (the cooking time will depend on the size of the brisket and heat of the grill). Baste the brisket from time to time with the fat and juices that accumulate in the pan. You'll need to add 10 to 12 fresh coals to each side every hour and toss more wood chips on the fresh coals; add about 3/4 cup chips per side every time you replenish the coals during the first 3 hours.
• 6. Remove the brisket pan from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it across the grain, using a sharp knife, electric knife, or cleaver. Transfer the sliced meat to a platter, pour the pan juices on top, and serve at once.
• Barbecue Sauce, the Texas Way
• The best Texas-style barbecue sauce combines the sweetness of Kansas City-style tomato sauces with the mouth-puckering tartness of a North Carolina vinegar sauce. I've come up with my own version-mix together equal parts of the Basic Barbecue Sauce and the North Carolina Vinegar Sauce . Serve this with barbecued brisket. For a really good sauce, add some meat drippings or a little chopped brisket.

Steps:

• Mix together the spices in a small bowl. Rub the entire brisket with the spice mixture, place on a baking sheet, cover and let stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
• Prepare the smoker according to manufacturer's directions. Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side down, and smoke for 4 to 5 hours or until extremely tender. Baste with the mop every 30 minutes.
• Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Steps:

• Mix together the paprika, salt and pepper, sugar, and cayenne. Rub the spice mixture all over the brisket and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a large casserole or Dutch oven and pour the sauce over the top, hocks and all. Cover and cook until brisket is fork tender and can easily be shredded, about 3 hours. Transfer the brisket to a platter. Skim and discard the fat from the top of the sauce. Shred or thinly slice the brisket. Serve.

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, and crushed pepper and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the ham hocks, tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until deep red in color and has thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. Adjust seasoning salt with pepper. Sauce will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

• Yield: about 8 cups
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 32 minutes
• Inactive Prep Time: 25 minutes

Steps:

• Place brisket in glass baking dish, fatty side down, making a note of exact weight before discarding wrapper (that will determine cooking time later).
• Measure all remaining ingredients*except* BBQ sauce into a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake well to mix.
• Pour marinade evenly over meat; cover dish with foil and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to cook, remove from refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature while preheating oven to 300 degrees F.
• Bake brisket, covered with foil, for 4 to 5 hours, until extremely tender.
• This is where the weight comes in-- a 3-lb.
• brisket should be ready in 4 hours; a 4-lb.
• brisket will probably take the full 5 hours; if you have one that's somewhere in between, adjust cooking time in 15-minute increments, depending on the exact size.
• Remove brisket from oven and**CAREFULLY** drain off most of the grease that has been produced (safety first here, please-- that grease will be scalding hot!).
• Note: Leave about 2 tablespoons in the pan for flavor; discard the remainder.
• Pour 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce evenly over meat (I use Corky's).
• Recover with foil and return to oven for one additional hour.
• You can either slice this or shred and serve on buns as a sandwich.
• Heat additional BBQ sauce to serve on the side.

Steps:

• To make the barbecue sauce, heat the oil in a frying pan, then cook onion and garlic for a few mins until soft. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the pan with a good pinch of salt and simmer for 20 mins. Use a hand blender or food processor to whizz to a smooth purée.
• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Make the rub by mixing all the ingredients together with a pinch of salt. Rub the mix all over the beef and set aside.
• In a large roasting tin, mix the beef stock and ½ the barbecue sauce. Add the brisket to the tin, cover tightly with foil, then cook for 4-5 hrs until the meat is really tender when you push a fork into it. The beef can be prepared the night before - just leave it to cool in the tin covered with foil, but don't refrigerate.
• To finish the beef, get a barbecue fired up and wait until the coals are completely ashen - you want a low, not fierce, heat. Lift the beef out of the roasting tin and place on the barbecue to char. If your barbecue has a lid, close it now. Cook for about 20 mins, turning it carefully with tongs, until lightly charred all over and heated through. Lift onto a board and serve sliced with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side.
