Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4-6 lbs Beef Brisket Flat or packer cut with a good fat cap
  • 2 tbsp Coarse Sea Salt 34g
  • 3 tbsp 16-Mesh Cracked Black Peppercorns 21g
  • 1 tbsp Granulated Garlic 10g
  • 1 tbsp Onion Powder 10g
  • 2 tbsp Beef Tallow or Olive Oil 30ml, used as a binder

Equipment

  • 1 Rimmed Baking Sheet A dark, weathered tray is ideal for heat retention.
  • 1 Digital Meat Thermometer Essential for tracking the internal grain temperature.
  • 2 Butcher paper or heavy-duty foil Used for the 'Texas Crutch' wrapping phase.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Trim the cold brisket fat cap to a uniform 1/4 inch thickness. Pat the meat completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Coat the meat with a thin layer of tallow or oil. Mix the salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder, then press the rub firmly into all sides of the beef until it forms a heavy crust.
The Roasting Process
  1. Place on a wire rack in a dark tray. Roast at 250°F (120°C) until the internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C) and the bark is dark and set.
  2. Wrap the brisket tightly in butcher paper or foil with a splash of meat drippings. Return to the oven until it reaches an internal temp of 203°F (95°C).
  3. Remove from oven and let rest, wrapped, for at least 60-90 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Notes

Always slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Keep the trimmings to render down into extra beef tallow for future recipes.
