The Art of Grilling Beef Brisket: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

Grilling, a popular way of cooking meat quickly over high heat, is not recommended for large cuts like beef brisket. However, if you wish to grill brisket and enjoy a unique flavor, this guide will help you understand the process. Grilling beef brisket offers a different texture and taste compared to traditional slow-cooking methods like smoking. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions for grilling a beef brisket to perfection.

Preparation for Grilling Beef Brisket

Choose a 3-4 pound brisket and ensure it has room temperature, with the fat side up. Wrap the brisket in tin foil to retain moisture and maintain flavor. Preheat your grill to low heat and keep wood chips ready for adding smoke flavor.

Marinating and Rubbing

Before grilling, allow the brisket to sit for an hour after rubbing it with KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce Mix and Dry Rub. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Grilling Process

Preparation: Pour wood chips in one disposable foil pan and add enough water to cover. Light your grill, scrape the grates clean, and set one side to low heat.

Grilling: Place the brisket fatty side up and grill for 5 minutes on each side. Then place it in a foil pan and move to the unlit side of the grill. Baste with a customized BBQ sauce made from grapefruit juice, bourbon, and water.

Cooking: Place the covered foil pan with wood chips over it on the lit side of the grill. Cover the grill and maintain a temperature of about 300 degrees. Baste the brisket every 30 minutes for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 195-205 degrees.

Conclusion

Grilling beef brisket is a unique and rewarding culinary experience. While traditional methods call for slow smoking, grilling offers a different texture and flavor. By following these steps, you can achieve a smoke-infused brisket with a delicious charred exterior and a tender interior.
