EASY BAKED BEEF BRISKET
For a brisket recipe, this is considered very fast. The convention of cooking it low and slow often results in dried-out meat that never reaches the proper internal temperature. Instead of waiting all day and risking such disappointment, we dial up the temperature slightly and bake it in about half the time to ensure it's both tender and moist. Garnish with chives if desired.

Steps:
- Season both sides of the brisket generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne. For best results, place brisket over an aluminum foil "rack" set over a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, 8 to 12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and salt. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, and apple juice. Increase heat to high and boil until liquid is reduced by about half, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer half of the apple-onion mixture into a baking dish. Place brisket fat-side up on top; cover with remaining apple-onion mixture. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C) and bake until fork-tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Check for doneness after 2 hours.
- Transfer brisket to a plate and tent with foil.
- Pour the onions and braising liquid into a large measuring cup or bowl. Skim some fat off the top. Puree with a stick blender to create a gravy.
- Slice brisket across the grain and serve with the gravy.

PERFECT BRISKET
Because brisket can be tough if not cooked properly, some other barbecue competitors will actually prepare more than one at a competition. I don't want to cook but one brisket when I compete, and I'm sure not going to do a backup brisket at home. One brisket should be all you need to get the job done. Just pay attention to these steps, and read the info in the box on page 92, and you'll have the one the way you want it, too.

Steps:
- Trim your brisket (see page 92).
- Place the brisket, fat side up, in an aluminum baking pan. Inject it by eyeballing 1-inch squares all over the brisket and injecting half of the beef injection in those squares. Flip the brisket over, fat side down, and pour the remaining injection/marinade over the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Thirty minutes before you are ready to cook the brisket, heat a smoker to 350˚F. (You can also use a gas grill, but you'll need to prepare it for smoking-see page 8.)
- Remove the brisket from the marinade and discard the marinade. Using your hands, apply the beef rub all over the meat. Place the brisket in a clean aluminum baking pan, place the pan in the smoker, and cook for 2 1/2 hours.
- Remove the pan from the smoker and cover it with aluminum foil. Put it back into the smoker and cook for another 1 1/2 hours or until the temperature in the point end of the meat reaches 205˚F.
- Remove the pan from the smoker and wrap the pan, still covered with aluminum foil, in a thick blanket. Let it rest at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours.
- Unwrap the pan, discard the foil, and remove the brisket, taking care to save the accumulated juices. Set the brisket aside. Strain the juices of all grease, and pour the juices into a medium saucepan. Warm the juices over medium heat, and allow them to come to a simmer. Meanwhile, slice the brisket against the grain; try to make the slices as consistently sized as possible. Place the slices on a warm platter and pour the juices over them. Serve immediately.
- Before marinating a whole brisket, remove the fat cap on the bottom of the brisket, from the center of the meat back to the point (the narrow end). After marinating, season this area with the rub as well as the rest of the meat.
- Cook the brisket as described above. Wrap it in the blanket and let it rest for 2 hours.
- Unwrap the brisket and remove the bottom section. (There is a membrane separating the bottom of the point from the top. Feel this with your blade as you cut.) Clean the fat away from the membrane side of the bottom piece, season with salt and pepper, and place the bottom piece on the smoker. Cook for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, pour the pan drippings into a grease separator, and set aside. Place the top portion of the brisket back in the pan, wrap it in foil, and rewrap it in the blanket.
- Remove the burnt end portion from the smoker and cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
- Place the cubes in a small pan and add the reserved drippings. Cover, and place in the smoker for 30 minutes.
- Remove and enjoy.
