Smoked Beef Brisket
Smoked Beef Brisket (Makes 4-6 lbs.)
Ingredients:
4-5 lb. beef brisket (whole)
½ cup Betts Seasoning
1 cup hard apple cider
¼ cup Braggs apple cider vinegar
½ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup Bulleit bourbon
whole grain mustard to taste
Recommend using white oak wood
Directions: Rub brisket and place into smoker at 250° for at least six hours or until internal temperature reaches 205° and meat is pull-able. Remove from smoker and let it rest on roasting rack to reserve the juices. Take hard apple cider, bourbon, bring to boil and reduce by half to cook off the alcohol. Add sugar and cook until it is a syrupy consistency. Add Braggs cider vinegar as necessary to balance acidity and sweetness. Finish with mustard to taste.
