Brisket with those latkes? The secret is the right cut, slow cooked
LA Daily News ^ | 12/14/11 | Elizabeth Karmel

Brisket, a staple of the Hanukkah meal, too often ends up tough, tasteless and gray.

But turning this culinary catastrophe into a winner is quite simple.

When guests at my restaurant try my version of brisket, they are amazed that it is the same cut of meat that they grew up "not eating!" To make this recipe, it helps to have a smoker, but it isn't necessary. All you need is patience (it takes a long time to cook) and to buy the right cut of meat...

“Brisket, a staple of the Hanukkah meal, too often ends up tough, tasteless and gray.”

Sounds like some observant Jews need to make a lunch stop in down in Texas. Hannukkah will never be the same when they take some Texas brisket recipes home. The days of tasteless and gray will be long gone.

I don't know if the brisket and a rump roast are the same

I think they come from different ends of the cow!

I think his recipe calls for it to be cooked to fast. I cook mine between 200-225 for many hours. Sometimes 12-14 hours. I smoke mine. And they are fantastic that way.

from my trip to Louie Mueller Barbecue in Taylor Texas

Possibly the best I have ever had, and I live in Central Texas

I made this recipe with cross cut shank last week. Best $2.99lb beef I’ve ever eaten....

Looks delicious: Thanks! I printed the recipe and will definitely check it out!

Since you made this, can you tell me what "caster" sugar is? Will regular sugar do?

Nope. But I think it is too low. It would cook just aw well and be just as tender at 5 hours at 275 degrees.

I don’t know about brisket but the dry rub made by these guys is really good. The ones I have tried.

At least I think this is the right company....

I went to a BBQ cook-off in Kansas City a few months ago and was served a smoked corned beef that was out of this world. Cooked at 200-250% for 10-12 hours, served with sauerkraut and swiss cheese on grilled rye bread, and so tender you could almost drink it.

Makes me want to get a smoker and figure out how to use it.

trim the large parts of fat away put your rub on and put it on your smoker ( I use a water smoker at 250*) then start drinking the beer while watching the fire, when the six pack is done take the meat out and eat

The next time I head down to Denton to visit my cousin I might have to make a little detour. They do mail order btw.
