Essential Ingredients for Outstanding Flavor
The foundation of any great brisket is high-quality ingredients. For a 13 lb brisket, you'll need:
1/2 cup of a robust brisket rub (like the Girls Can Grill version)
1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar for spritzing
1/4 cup of beef tallow to enhance moisture
Don’t skimp on the seasoning; it’s what transforms the meat from good to extraordinary.
Step-by-Step Approach to Smoking Brisket
Here’s a quick rundown on smoking brisket using the Ninja FlexFlame:
Trim the Brisket: Remove excess fat to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
Rub and Rest: Generously apply your brisket rub, and allow the meat to rest overnight in the refrigerator.
Setup Your Grill: Preheat the grill to a low, slow temperature of 250°F, and add wood pellets for smoking.
Monitor and Spritz: Cook the brisket until it reaches an internal temp of around 160°F while spritzing hourly with apple cider vinegar.
Rest: After reaching the desired temperature, wrap the brisket to rest for an hour, allowing juices to redistribute.
By following these steps and monitoring closely, you can ensure a wonderfully tender and flavorful brisket.
