🔥 Introduction

Whether it’s your first brisket or your hundredth, this recipe will help you master the low-and-slow art of brisket alchemy.

🧂 Ingredients

• Full-packer beef brisket

• Mustard binder (optional)

• Coarse ground pepper (optional)

• The Alchemist seasoning by AlcheMeats, to taste

• Beef tallow (optional)

• BBQ sauce (optional)

🧪 Directions

1. Trim the brisket:
   Open packaging and trim to your liking. Remove all hard fat, as it won’t render during the cook. Round the corners and shape the brisket for even airflow. On the fat side, trim to about 1/8–1/4 inch.

2. Apply binder (optional):
   Coat the brisket with mustard or your preferred binder. Mustard is inexpensive, flavor-neutral, and helps seasoning adhere perfectly.

3. Add base layer pepper (optional):
   A coarse grind of black pepper adds bold flavor and helps catch smoke for an enhanced bark.

4. Season generously:
   Apply The Alchemist seasoning by AlcheMeats liberally over all sides. This is key to building deep bark and flavor.

5. Marinate:
   Let the brisket sweat for at least 30 minutes. For best results, refrigerate and marinate overnight.

6. Smoke low and slow:
   Preheat your smoker to 180°F. Place the brisket fat side up and smoke until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (about 8–12 hours depending on size and smoker consistency).

7. Wrap and tallow (optional):
   Once it hits 165°F, remove and wrap tightly in butcher paper. You can brush beef tallow on the paper or brisket before wrapping for extra richness.

8. Finish the cook:
   Return to smoker and raise the temperature to 225–250°F. Continue cooking until the brisket reaches 195–205°Fand is probe tender (a thermometer slides in and out easily).

9. Rest:
   Remove brisket and let rest on the counter for 20–45 minutes. Then, continue resting until the internal temp drops to 155°F. You can also rest it in a cooler or a warm oven.

10. Slice and serve:
    Separate the point from the flat. Slice the flat along the grain, and the point against the grain. Aim for slices about the width of a No. 2 pencil.

11. Enjoy:
    Serve with or without your favorite BBQ sauce and experience brisket transformation at its finest.

🧠 Pro Tip

Save your brisket trimmings to make ground brisket or render your own beef tallow — a delicious way to elevate future cooks.
