Stubb's BBQ Brisket

Brisket, the big meat, is the most common meat you’ll find in any Texas Bar-B-Q joint.  Here we’re coating an entire brisket with Stubb’s Bar-B-Q Rub. Crafted by Stubb himself at his original Texas Bar-B-Q joint, this seasoning is a bold blend of sea salt, paprika and black pepper to help you create flavorful brisket.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours

 

Ingredients

6 pound beef brisket, untrimmed

1 bottle Stubb’s® Bar-B-Q Rub

Soaked wood chips (for smoke flavor if using charcoal)

 

Instructions

Rub entire brisket with Bar-B-Q Rub. Let it rest for a minimum of 30 minutes. This allows the rub to penetrate the meat.

While the brisket is resting, prepare your smoker for indirect low heat (225°F to 250°F) cooking. If using charcoal, layer the soaked wood chips with the charcoal. Place foil pan under grates of grill or smoker to catch drippings.

Cook the brisket, fat side up, over indirect heat until internal temperature on thickest part of the brisket reaches 180° to 185°F. This usually takes 8 to 10 hours depending on your pit. To maintain low heat, check every hour to adjust vents and add more charcoal and soaked wood chips as needed. Remove brisket and let it rest 15 to 45 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Makes 16 servings.

BBQ Brisket Sliders

Loaded with flavor, these Bar-B-Q Brisket Sliders are just how Stubb would have made ‘em himself. From his tangy-sweet brisket seasoned with Stubb’s Bar-B-Q Rub and Bar-B-Q Sauce, to the savory, spice-rubbed barbeque pickles and crispy onion straws, these sliders have got it all.

 

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

 

Ingredients:

Barbecue Pickles:

2 cups very thinly sliced small cucumbers (1/8-inch thick)

1 tablespoon Stubb’s® Bar-B-Q Rub

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons white vinegar

Crispy Onion Straws:

1/2 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Black Pepper

1 medium onion, very thinly sliced and separated into rings

Vegetable oil, for frying

Bar-B-Q Brisket Sliders:

2 pounds sliced Stubb’s BBQ Brisket 

12 slider or small dinner rolls

3/4 cup Stubb’s® Original Bar-B-Q Sauce

 

Instructions:

For the Pickles, mix cucumbers, Bar-B-Q Rub and sugar in small bowl. Let stand 30 minutes. Strain cucumbers and place in glass bowl or jar. Stir in vinegar. Cover. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Onion Straws, mix flour, salt and pepper in large resealable plastic bag. Add onion rings; toss to coat well. Pour oil into deep fryer, large heavy skillet or saucepan, filling no more than 1/3 full. Heat oil on medium-high heat. Carefully add onion rings to hot oil. Fry 4 to 5 minutes, turning once to brown evenly, until onion rings are golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
