IngredientsÂ
-
1 @ 6-6.5-pound whole brisket (bison or beef)Â
-
2 Tablespoons coarse Kosher saltÂ
-
2 Tablespoons coarse black pepperÂ
-
2 Tablespoons garlic powder Â
-
¼ c Beef, Bison, or Elk TallowÂ
Â
DirectionsÂ
-
Preheat. Fire up your favorite smoker and preheat it to 275 degrees F. I like to use oak and cherry for my brisket, but you can use whatever wood is your favorite.Â
-
Trim. Take off any excess fat (1/4 inch or so is good to leave) and square up the edges. Â
-
Season. Sprinkle seasonings on all sides of the meat. (You could also use your favorite beef rub if you would like)Â
-
Smoke. Place the brisket on the smoker. On my pellet grill, I placed my brisket fat side down. Close the lid, and smoke for 4-5 hours or until the meat reaches 165 degrees F.Â
-
Wrap. Place the brisket on a large sheet of butcher paper. Drizzle the meat in melted Tallow and wrap tightly. Return the meat to the smoker.Â
-
Finish smoking. Continue smoking until the brisket reaches a temperature of 200 degrees F.Â
-
Rest. Remove the meat from the smoker. Rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour.Â
-
Slice. Slice the meat against the grain in 1/4-inch-thick slices.Â
-
Serve. Place your gorgeous meat on a serving platter and enjoy!Â
