Instructions

Pat the brisket dry with a towel to remove any moisture. Generously rub the brisket with 1 cup of the BBQ Beef Coffee Cure, massaging all the spice into the meat; repeat with the remaining cure. The cure will soak up the liquid from the beef and form a crust.

Prepare a smoker for hot smoking. The standard cooking time for brisket is 1 hour per pound, smoked fat side up, under dry, indirect heat at a steady temperature of 225°F.

Place the brisket on the center rack of the smoker and smoke for 12 hours. This is slow cooking at its easiest—there's no need to check the meat at intervals.

After 12 hours, use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 185°F in the thickest side of the brisket. Once that temperature is reached, open the door of the smoker and let the meat rest for 30 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to settle. The internal temperature will continue to rise to 190°F.

Recommended wine: Shiraz, Tempranillo, Zinfandel

Beef Brisket works really well with Shiraz, Tempranillo, and Zinfandel. All these red wines can handle the meaty, smokey flavor of brisket. If you're talking traditional Jewish brisket, you'll want to look for a kosher red wine. You could try Redbank Long Paddock Shiraz - Cabernet. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 10 dollars per bottle.
