Brine it in saltwater now... Should have it for 24-48 hours but overnight will do since your a rookie, lol
Trim fat to 1/4", don't be afraid to cover with foil if it starts getting too dark, and slice thinly on bias.
Low and slow is the way to go. You need to give the fat time to render. When I do a brisket it takes me 12-16 hours. I also marinade it for 24 hours before smoking it. I like to use apple cider vinegar(homemade), Worcestershire, garlic, salt, and herbs when marinating. Vinegar is important because the acid begins breaking the meat down.
this. and when you slice, get that gristly veiny piece out and it should be legit.
source. i a carver at
Was gonna declare with red wine vinegar and beef broth before long braise
Add some Worcestershire to the marinade. It tastes phenomenal once smoked. I add about half a bottle to the marinade. Then I vacuum seal it all together in a bag.
Now I'm getting hungry. I'm gonna go check my freezer to see if I have a brisket. I usually keep a couple.
Oh yes
This is our favorite brisket recipe. The beef tallow is a game changer. https://youtu.be/kE2RisA2mHY
Edit: I made the assumption you were smoking it but I guess you didn't specify.
Gonna braise
I never did a brisket, but these guys never failed me for any BBQ recipes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0PYZL8lMrA
Check out their channel, they probably have more than one video on briskets.
