All you require for this dish are a few ingredients, coarsely chopped garlic, salt,
pepper, coarse grain mustard, some natural string and plenty of me. Once you
get the brisket home, the rst thing you need to do is cut the string and unroll
the brisket, if it’s already rolled, paying aenon to how it all ts together, as
you will need to roll it up again. With the brisket laid out at (fat side down)
slather it with mustard, put the chopped garlic on and season liberally with
the salt and pepper. At this point, you can slice some cheese on to it (oponal)
before rolling it up again. Use a natural coon string to e it all together again.
Slather the outside with mustard and season with salt and pepper (herbs of
your choice can be sprinkled on too). Wrap the brisket in cling lm and leave it
in the fridge overnight. Early the next morning (it will take 8 – 12 hours to cook,
depending on the size of the cut), set the unit up for water smoking and place
the brisket on the cooking grill and close the lid. Pop some wood on through the
boom door for smoke avour. This is where the me ingredient comes in; nd
something to occupy your me as you wait for the low heat (93 °C (200°F) and
120 °C (250°F)) and smoke to work its magic.
Brisket takes me and pracce. If you are monitoring the internal temperature of
the meat, you will probably noce that aer about 5 hours the temperature will
sit at around 71 °C (160°F) for a while, don’t panic, as it will start to rise again.
When it has reached 88 °C (190°F), your brisket is cooked, but you will need to let
the meat rest for at least half an hour, before carving and serving.
