Herb and Chili Smoked Brisket

By Derrick Riches, About.com

Here is another brisket recipe for you to try. This recipe has a fantastic dry mustard rub that gives a wonderful flavor to almost anything, including, brisket, lamb, or pork.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 hours, 00 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 beef brisket, about 8-10 pounds
  • For Rub:
  • 6 tablespoons dry mustard
  • 3 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper, ground
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Preparation:

Preheat smoker and add wood chips (follow your instruction manual). Clean and dry the brisket. Combine rub ingredients and apply onto brisket. Place brisket in smoker for 8-10 hours. Keep the smoker temperature at about 220 degrees F. To increase tenderness, take the brisket out of the smoker, wrap in aluminum foil and place in oven at 180-200 degrees for the last two hours. Typically after 8-10 hours a piece of meat will have absorbed as much smoke as it can and additional smoking may impart a bitter flavor. Take brisket off of heat and allow to sit for 20 minutes before slicing.
