Yield: 15 portions

Ingredients
Amount
Beef brisket
10 lb
Prepared mustard 1/3 C
Barbecue Spice Rub (see recipe) 1/2 C
Kosher salt 1/4 C
Orange-Cumin Barbecue Sauce (see recipe) as desired

 

Method

1. Trim the meat of any excess fat and tissue, but leave a layer of fat to protect the meat as it cooks. Rub the meat with mustard and then season with the spice rub and salt. Refrigerate overnight.

2. The following day, preheat a grill to 225°F or prepare a slow charcoal fire. Put the meat on the grill, fat side up and away from direct heat, and cover but leave vents open. Cook slowly until the meat is tender, 8 to 12 hours. Check periodically to be sure that the grill temperature remains at about 225°F. Stoke the fire with coals if necessary. (Do not add raw wood to the fire or your meat may get too smoky.) When the meat is done, it will have a dark, burnished exterior and it will be fork tender. If desired, baste the meat with Orange-Cumin Barbecue Sauce during the last half hour to give the brisket a nice gloss and tangy flavor. Transfer the meat to a cutting board to rest.
3. Slice the meat across the grain and serve with Orange-Cumin Barbecue Sauce on the side.
