  • 1 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. oregano or sweet marjoram
  • 1 tbsp. coarsely cracked black pepper

Combine all ingredients for sauce in a stockpot and mix well simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Directions

To make Rib Rub, combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container. Use enough of the Rib Rub to coast the brisket; save the remainder.

After 4 hours, begin applying sauce every hour. After 8 hours, briskets should be almost black. This blend of smoke, Rib Rub and sauce forms a crunchy exterior called “bark.”

For a more tastier and tender brisket, wrap each brisket in a double layer of aluminum foil and pour 2 cups of sauce over brisket. Seal foil tightly and return to grill at 200 degrees F for another 3 hours.

  1. Remove briskets from aluminum foil and allow it to cool approximately 30 minutes. Once brisket has cooled, wrap it in tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  2. On the following day, smoke again over indirect heat at 225 to 235 degrees F for 2 to 3 hours. Allow it to stand approximately 15 minutes before slicing. Slice prior to serving to preserve juiciness. Yields 10-16 servings
