Ingredients
Scale
- 1 15 lb brisket
- 1 cup beer
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup beef stock
- 5 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp coarse ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Traeger grill on Smoke, keeping the lid open for 4 to 5 minutes to establish the fire.
- Set the grill temperature to 225°F and preheat for 10 minutes with the lid closed.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and brown sugar.
- Season the brisket evenly on all sides with the spice mixture.
- Place the brisket, fat side down, on the grill grate.
- Cook the brisket until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (approximately 3-4 hours).
- While cooking, combine beer, apple cider vinegar, beef stock, and melted butter to create the baste.
- Once the brisket reaches 160°F, remove it from the grill.
- Double wrap the brisket in aluminum foil and pour the prepared baste around it in the foil packet.
- Return the wrapped brisket to the grill and continue cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 204°F (another 3-4 hours).
- After cooking, take the brisket out of the grill, unwrap it from the foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain to serve.
Notes
Ensure the grill temperature remains steady for best results.
Letting the brisket rest enhances its juicy flavor.
Adjust seasonings based on personal taste preferences.
