Brisket Burnt Ends

The Magic of Slow-Smoked Beef

Prepare the Brisket

Trim the fat cap, leaving a ¼-inch layer to protect the meat.

Make Dry Rub

Mix brown sugar, salt, paprika, pepper, mustard, oregano, cumin, garlic, and onion powder.

Make Wet Rub

Rub brisket with mustard and Worcestershire sauce or water to bind spices.

Season the Brisket

Coat the brisket evenly with spice mix, reserving some for burnt ends.

Smoke the Brisket

Preheat pellet grill to 225-250°F. Smoke fat-side up for 6 hours until 165-170℉.

Wrap and Rest

Wrap brisket in butcher or foil paper, smoke until 203-205°F, and rest for 30 mins.

Make the Burnt Ends

Slice point into cubes, season with dry rub, BBQ sauce, sugar, Worcestershire, honey, and hot sauce. Smoke for 1-2 hours.
