Drunk Brisket with Bacon BBQ Sauce 

Ingredients

·         1½ Kg Beef Brisket (alternatively you can use Chuck or Blade Steak)

·         2 tsp Coarse Salt

·         2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper

·         2 tsp Garlic Powder

·         500g Bacon

·         1 Onion – chopped

·         4 Cloves Garlic – minced

·         1 Can Diced Tomatoes

·         2 Cups Beef Stock

·         1 ½ Cup Ketchup

·         ¾ Cup Brown Sugar

·         1 Tbsp Molasses

·         1 bottle Dark Beer

·         ¼ Cup Apple Cider Vinegar

 

Instructions

1.      Set your Bradley Smoker to 87C and load with wood bisquettes (Mesquite works great with Beef).

2.      Season the meat on all sides with the salt/pepper/garlic mixture (reserve ½ Tbsp of the seasoning for later use).  Place meat into the smoker rack and smoke for 3 hours.

3.      After 3 hours, remove from smoker and wrap with plastic wrap.  Refrigerate overnight to infuse the smoke flavour.  If you are cooking the same day, skip the wrapping.

4.      Preheat a cast iron grill pan or heavy frying pan to high heat.  Place the brisket fat side up and grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the meat has developed a nice colour on both sides.

5.      Heat a large heavy pot and cook the bacon until golden brown and crisp.  Add the chopped onions to the pan and cook until tender (about 5 mins), add the garlic and cook for several more minutes.  Lower heat and add the tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, beef stock and the remaining seasoning (reserved from earlier). Bring to a simmer and nettle the meat into the BBQ Sauce, cover with lid or tin foil.

6.      Preheat oven to 170C and place pot into oven – Cook for 1 ½ hours.  The liquid will have decreased by about half.  Pour in the beer to bring the liquid back above the meat.  Replace lid and return to oven for an additional 1 ½ hours.

7.      Remove the meat from the pot and allow it to rest on a chopping board for at least 15 minutes.  To the pot, add the cider vinegar and cook over medium heat.  Bring the sauce to a boil and stir frequently until it is reduced to a thick BBQ Sauce consistency.  You may need to separate any excess bacon fat from the top with a spoon.

8.      Slice the meat into approximately 6mm slices and drizzle with the warm BBQ sauce.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
