Description
Any true Texan will appreciate this smoked brisket. It is infused with Butcher’s prime then sprayed with apple juice and rubbed with a coffee and prime rib mix, sprinkled with black pepper, then smoked over cherry wood.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Butcher BBQ prime brisket injection
- 1 (12-15 lb) whole brisket
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup Traeger prime rib rub
- 1/2 cup Traeger coffee rub
- 1 1/2 cups apple juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
- Cherry pellets
Instructions
- First, trim the fat off and any brown areas and remove all silverskin. Next, make a long cut against the grain on the thin side of the brisket and a shortcut again on the flat to show the direction of cuts after cooking. Then trim the bottom fat cap to about ¼ inch thick.
- Then mix the Butcher BBQ prime brisket injection and water in a jug. Using a meat injector, inject the mixture into the brisket with the grain in a checkerboard pattern. Rub the whole brisket with canola oil and spray it with the apple juice. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Keep the rest of the injection mixture.
- Preheat the Traeger to 180℉ with the lid closed for 15 minutes. If available use super smoke for the best flavor.
- Next, mix the coffee and prime rib rubs together and season the brisket, then sprinkle with black pepper.
- Insert the probe into the thickest part and put the brisket directly on the grill gates fat-side down. Let it cook with the lid closed until the internal temperature reaches 150-160°F approximately 8-12 hours. After the first 3 hours spray with apple juice every 30-45 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and increase the temperature to 225°F.
- Using a double layer of tin foil wrap the brisket, leaving one end open, and pour the remaining injection mixture into the foil packet, then seal it closed. Re-insert the probe and return to the grill, cook for another 3-4 hours until the internal temperature reaches 204℉.
- Take the brisket off the grill and wrap it in a towel, then put it in an airtight cooler to rest for 2 hours.
- When ready to serve keep the remaining injector mixture and use it as gravy. Slice up the brisket and enjoy!
