How To make Texas Bbq Beef Brisket
7 lbs boneless beef brisket
Oak, pecan, mesquite, or hickory chips
water soaked 30mins 2 tsps paprika
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper :
divided
Water 1 med onion -- grated
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 c catsup
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot pepper sauce

Combine paprika and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; rub evenly over surface of brisket. Place brisket, fat side down, in 11 1/2 x 9-inch disposable aluminum pan. Add 1 cup water. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place in center of grid over very low coals*.
Cover cooker and cook 5 hours, turning brisket over every 1 1/2 hours; remove excess fat from pan with baster as it accumulates. Add additional 1/2 cup water to pan, if needed. Periodically add just enough additional briquets to keep coals at very low temperature. Remove brisket form pan; reserve pan drippings.
Place brisket on grid, fat side down, directly over very low coals*. Replace grill cover and continue cooking 30 minutes.
Meanwhile skim and discard fat from pan drippings; reserve 1 cup drippings. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions; cook until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Add reserved pan drippings, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper, catsup, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and pepper sauce; simmer approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Trim excess fat from brisket; carve brisket across the grain into thin slices.

Today I’m cooking a whole packer brisket on some smoke! For this Texas Style Brisket cook I’m starting with a full packer brisket. That means it has the flat and point still connected.
You’ll want to trim any thick fat down to ¼” and also remove the thick deckle fat that connects the brisket flat and point. This fat won’t render during cooking and it helps the brisket lay flat which helps with uniform cooking.
This is a Texas Style Brisket, which means a simple mix of Kosher Salt and Corse Black Pepper is all you need. I mix ¼ cup of salt and ¼ cup of pepper together in a shaker and coat the entire outside of the Texas Style Brisket with a good dose. Let the Texas Style Brisket rest on the counter while the pit comes up to temperature.
For Texas Style Brisket you can expect a long cook time, so be prepared to maintain an even temperature for several hours. I’m using my Ole Hickory MM running at 250⁰ for this Texas Style Brisket cook but any cooker can be set up to cook indirect.
Just make sure you use a good probe thermometer (I use the Thermoworks ThermaQ dual probe thermometer - you can check it out here: ) to monitor grate temperature throughout the cook.
Once the smoker is stabilized, place the Texas Style Brisket fat up on the cooking grate and close the lid. Traditionally Texas style brisket is cooked with post oak but I don’t have any, so I’m going with the next best option and that’s Pecan.
After 5 hours, the outside of the Texas Style Brisket will start to turn dark. This is exactly what you want to happen, and it’s time to wrap at this stage.
Tear off 2 big strips of butcher paper and lay them cross ways on the table. Place the Texas Style Brisket in the middle and wrap with the first layer of paper flipping the brisket. Flip the brisket upright and it’s ready to go back on the pit. It should be laying fat side up the entire time on the pit.
Monitoring the internal temperature of the Texas Style Brisket is important now, so stick a probe into the thickest area of the flat right through the paper. Be sure not to go too deep; it should rest right in the middle of the flat. Set the alarm for 200⁰ and get ready to wait another 3-4 hours.
Once the alarm sounds at 200⁰ the Texas Style Brisket is ready to come off the pit. For brisket you should feel almost no resistance when you stick it with a probe.
Place the Texas Style Brisket in a dry cooler and close the lid. It needs to rest for at least 2 hours before slicing but as much as 6 hours won’t hurt.
For serving Texas Style Brisket separate the point and flat. Cut the flat into ¼” slices and split the point right down the middle against the grain. Cut it into slices and cube the outer edges for burnt ends. Texas Style brisket is one of my favorites and you can’t beat the simple flavors it has when done right!

Smoked Texas Brisket Recipe - Confit Brisket
Thank you for watching my smoked Texas brisket recipe. On this video, I took an E3 Meat Company brisket and smoked it Texas style using some SPG. Once the brisket was smoked, I rested/held the brisket in some wagyu beef tallow for 10 hours! This is by far one of the most flavorful briskets I've ever smoked. The flavor of this E3 Meat Co brisket was so beefy and the beef tallow took the flavors to a whole new level. This is a must try recipe.
