Ingredients

  • 12 lb Brisket whole
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Corned Beef Brisket Rub

  • 2 Tbsp Black Peppercorns ground
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp Cloves ground
  • 1 Tbsp Ginger ground
  • 1 Tbsp Mustard ground
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds

Instructions

  • Trim the brisket - do your best to trim the fat cap down to ¼" thickness, and remove as much of the fat as you can on the other side.
  • Rub the brisket with olive oil and then generously apply the rub. Use your hands to get the rub into all of the crevices of the brisket
  • Smoke the brisket at 225 degrees until it hits 165 internal temperature. A stall will occur around 150 degrees. BE PATIENT.
  • When the corned beef hits 165 wrap with butcher paper. Continue cooking the corned beef until the internal temp hits 200.
  • At 200 degrees internal temperature double wrap the brisket in foil (over the butcher paper) and place in a high-quality cooler to rest for approximately 60 minutes. Slice thin slices against the grain and serve with cabbage, or in a reuben.
