Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 2 lbs beef brisket

Seasoning:

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Sauce:

  • 1 cup barbecue sauce

Instructions

  1. Set up your outdoor grill to reach a steady 225°F, preparing for a low and slow cooking session with your 2 lbs beef brisket.
  2. Create a robust spice blend by thoroughly massaging 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper directly into every surface of the meat.
  3. Position the seasoned brisket on the grill’s cooler side, ensuring indirect heat will transform your cut into a tender masterpiece.
  4. Maintain grill temperature at 225°F and cook your brisket for approximately 4-5 hours, rotating and basting with ½ cup barbecue sauce every hour to keep the meat moist.
  5. Check the brisket’s internal temperature, which should reach 195°F for perfect tenderness and doneness.
  6. Remove the brisket from the grill and wrap it in aluminum foil, allowing the meat to rest for 15-20 minutes so juices redistribute evenly.
  7. Slice the brisket against the grain into ¼-inch thick pieces, arranging them on a serving platter.
  8. Drizzle the remaining ½ cup barbecue sauce over the sliced meat for an extra layer of flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • Choose a well-marbled brisket for maximum tenderness and flavor.
  • Create a consistent temperature zone on the grill by placing coals or adjusting gas burners for even cooking.
  • Wrap the brisket in aluminum foil halfway through grilling to help retain moisture and prevent burning.
  • Let the brisket rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice stays succulent and tender.
