Kansas City Beef Brisket Recipes

KANSAS CITY BBQ RIB/BRISKET RUB

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir to combine breaking up any lumps that appear. Use for any meat that you want to grill, rotisserie, or smoke (i.e. Beef Brisket, Pork Loin, Salmon, Steak, etc). Rub meat with Olive Oil on all sides. Sprinkle rub on all sides of the meat and rub it inches
• Store left over rub in an airtight container.

KANSAS CITY-STYLE BURNT ENDS

Steps:

• Sift the brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper into a medium bowl and mix well. Set aside.
• Trim all the hard fat from the brisket. Trim all the soft fat to 1/4 inch. Prepare a smoker or a grill, following the manufacturer's directions. Stabilize the temperature at 220 degrees F. Use a mild wood such as hickory or cherry for the smoke flavor. Generously cover all sides of the brisket with the rub and gently massage it in. Reserve the leftover rub. Smoke the meat until an instant-read thermometer registers 170 to 185 degrees F when inserted into the flat part of the brisket, about 1 hour per pound. For example, a 10-pound brisket may need to smoke for about 10 or more hours. Monitor the internal temperature.
• Separate the point of the meat from the flat. At this time you can slice the flat part off the brisket and eat. Trim the visible fat from the brisket point and coat it with the reserved rub. Return the meat to the smoker and continue cooking until the internal temperature of the brisket point reaches 200 degrees F. Remove the brisket from the smoker to a cutting board and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes. Cut into chunks and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve it hot with your favorite sauce on the side.

RATTAN DIRECT

Steps:

• 1 Skin the meat and cover with the salt. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hrs. 2 Light the barbecue with about 12 briquettes on one side. 3 Place a tin of water on the other side and add a rack with an oven thermometer. The fire is ready at 225F. 4 Mix the rub ingredients together and rub the meat all over. Place the meat on the rack and close the lid. 5 This stage could take between 4 to 6 hours, until a meat thermometer reads 150F. 6 Wrap the meat in foil and place back on the rack. Close the lid once more. 7 Cook the meat this way until the thermometer reaches 203F, just beyond the red zone on the thermometer. It can take between 1 and 2 hours. 8 Make the sauce over the hot side of the barbecue, or indoors if you prefer. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the shallots, garlic and salt. Stir until translucent. 9 Add the paprika and black pepper; stir. 10 Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and simmer until thick. About 15 minutes. Leave aside to cool. 11 When the meat is up to temperature, push the rack to the hot side of the grill. Remove the foil and grill on each side for 5 or 10 minutes to crisp up the bark. 12 Serve thinly sliced with the sauce and any other barbecue sides such as corn, coleslaw, potato salad.
