Ingredients
2 servings
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, make a brine by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt, sugar, pink salt, and pickling spice. Stir to dissolve and then remove from heat. Allow to cool.
- Transfer to a container large enough to hold your brisket(s). Add the cooled brine, and then top up with cool water as needed. Weigh down with a small plate, then store in the fridge for 5-7 days, flipping halfway.
- Transfer the pieces of beef you want to smoke to a plate or metal tray. Place on top of wood chips in an airtight, heatproof container and heat on an outdoor grill for about 2-4 hours.
- Enjoy as is, with lots of mustard, pickles, and bread.
