Beef Brisket
We made this for Labor Day, then used the leftovers for two more meals. It's important to get a fairly large, thick, brisket or it will dry out. It's cooked by indirect heat in a closed grill for a long time, until tender enough to fall apart. The addition of the broth in the bottom of the pan is not traditional, but helps to keep it moist, especially if it doesn't have much fat. One of the meals we had with leftovers was hot roast beef sandwiches, with gravy made from the pan juices.
4 lb Beef Brisket
1 c Low Sodium Beef Broth
1 T Chili Powder
1 T Brown Sugar
1 t Black Pepper
1 t Cumin
Place the broth in the bottom of a pan large enough to hold the beef flat. Combine the spices and rub into all sides of the brisket. If using a gas grill light one side and place to beef on the other side. If using charcoal, build a fire on one side and place the pan on the opposite side. Soak smoke chips according to package directions and place on fire. Close the grill cover and cook until very tender, 6 to 8 hours. Add additional smoke chips and charcoal as needed. Add water to the pan if needed to keep it from drying out. Turn the meat several times during cooking. When done, remove and let stand 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.
