Introduction
Brisket is a flavorful cut of meat that is perfect for smoking. The Hunsaker Vortex drum smoker is a great tool for achieving that perfect smoky flavor. By using the proper rub, cooking technique, and smoking process, your smoked brisket sandwich will be the talk of the town.
Ingredients and Tools:
- Brisket
- Beef and Brisket Rub from Sharp’s Gourmet BBQ Rubs
- Post oak for smoke
- Hunsaker Vortex drum smoker
- Wrapping paper and foil
- Meat thermometer
Preparing the Brisket
The first step in making the perfect smoked brisket sandwich is to trim the brisket. Be sure not to trim too much, as you want to preserve the flavor. Once it is trimmed, apply the beef and brisket rub generously to the meat and let it rest for at least an hour.
Cooking on the Hunsaker Vortex Drum Smoker
The Hunsaker Vortex drum smoker is a great tool for smoking meat. Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and add post oak to the fire. Place the brisket on the smoker and smoke it for 6-8 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Keeping the Meat Moist
To keep the meat moist, wrap it in wrapping paper or foil and place it back on the smoker. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This could take an additional 2-4 hours.
Resting the Brisket
Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for a couple of hours before slicing it. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
Making the Brisket Sandwich
Finally, it’s time to make the perfect smoked brisket sandwich. Slice the brisket thinly against the grain and pile it high on a bun. Top it off with horseradish coleslaw and some pickled jalapenos for an extra kick.
Horseradish Coleslaw Recipe:
- 1 head of cabbage
- 2 carrots grated
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons of horseradish
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
