Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Smoked Beef Brisket.
Step 1
Coat the trimmed beef brisket evenly with mustard, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
Step 2
Sprinkle the brisket rub generously over the mustard-coated brisket, pressing it into the meat. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
Remove the brisket from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Step 4
Preheat your smoker to 220°F (104°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 5
Place the beef brisket in the smoker and smoke it until it is tender and easily pierced with a knife. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read 190°F (88°C), which typically takes about 6 1/4 to 7 1/2 hours.
Step 6
Once cooked, carefully wrap the brisket in aluminum foil and let it rest for 30 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices for a more flavorful bite.
