Making A Texas Style Smoked Brisket Indoors - Just Use The oven

If you love Texas style brisket but don't have a smoker, this is the recipe for you. Not only does this brisket rival outdoor low and slow BBQ but it's also easier to control in the oven. No liquid smoke or pink salt used here.

Ingredients
Dry Rub:
40g black pepper
20g paprika
20g brown sugar
10g coffee
10g garlic powder
5g onion powder
15g powdered smoke
1g smoked salt per 100g of meat after trimming
1 whole packer brisket
1. Mix all the rub ingredients together and trim the brisket, removing any thin parts and excess fat. Season with smoked salt and apply the rub all over.
2. Heat oven to 250F and cook uncovered for 6 hours.
3. Check if the brisket formed a dark bark. Remove from the oven and wrap rightly in tallow soaked butcher paper or aluminum foil.
4. Increase oven to 275F and cook for 4 more hours or until internal temp of 203F. Time may vary depending on the size of the brisket. It’s done when fat has fully softened and the meat no longer feels tight.
5. Allow brisket to cool and rest in the oven before slicing, at least 2 hours. The longer the rest, the better. 140F is a good temperature to slice.

Great technique

Leave my damn fat cap alone. Beef fat is only second to pork fat

The outcome appears to be excellent but "What is smoke powder"? I am over 80 and have been cooking all my life but have never heard the term "smoke powder". It would also be helpful if you stated the total weight of the meat you are cooking. Thanks for a good recipe. Many posters will use a sauce or rub that they have known for all their lives but can't be found outside their local area, so it is important as the web goes all around the world, to list what actual ingredients are in a recipe, not just a brand name. You have a fine recipe I think.

Thanks for the comment. Smoke powder seems to be a newer ingredient popping up in a lot of stores bought spice mixes. I went online to find it in bulk to make my own rub. It's probably similar to liquid smoke but much more natural flavor and smell

I recommend a smoking bag with your choice of wood chips for indoor smoking.
