Michaels's Brisket Demo

beef brisket

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

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

Trim the brisket, removing excess fat while leaving some on one side.

Cook the brisket fat side up in a pan.

Set the smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and place the brisket on at 4:30 PM.

Check the temperature at 10:00 PM, aiming for 137 to 142 degrees Fahrenheit in the point.

Lower the smoker temperature to 240 degrees Fahrenheit after checking.

At 1:00 AM, check the brisket temperature again, aiming for 163 to 165 degrees Fahrenheit before wrapping.

Wrap the brisket tightly in foil and add beef broth and half a stick of butter in the pan for moisture.

Increase the smoker temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit after wrapping.

Check the brisket at 4:30 AM, aiming for 210 degrees Fahrenheit for doneness.
