beef brisket

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Pork shoulder is often less expensive and can be cooked similarly.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup

Homemade sauce can reduce sugars and preservatives.

Prepare the brisket by trimming excess fat and scoring the surface.

Rub smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt all over the brisket.

Mix mustard and apple cider vinegar, then coat the brisket with this mixture.

Let the brisket marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the smoker to 225°F (107°C).

Place the brisket in the smoker, fat side up, and smoke for about 10-12 hours until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).

Spritz the brisket with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water every hour during smoking.

Once cooked, remove the brisket from the smoker and wrap it in butcher paper or foil.

Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Serve with barbecue sauce on the side.
