Texas-Style Smoked Brisket SMASH OR PASS 🥩🔥
Ingredients
For the Brisket:

1 whole packer brisket (10–14 lbs)

2 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons coarse black pepper

For the Beef Ribs:

1 rack of beef plate ribs (3–4 bones)

2 teaspoons yellow mustard (as binder)

2 tablespoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons coarse black pepper

Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika

Equipment
Offset or pellet smoker

Post oak, hickory, or mesquite wood

Meat thermometer

Butcher paper or foil

Instructions
1. Prepare the Meat
Brisket: Trim the fat cap down to about 1/4 inch. Remove any excess hard fat.

Beef Ribs: Remove the membrane from the bone side. Lightly coat the meat with mustard.

2. Season
Generously season both brisket and ribs with salt and pepper. For ribs, you can also add garlic powder and paprika for extra flavor.

3. Smoke
Preheat your smoker to 225°F.

Place the brisket fat-side up and the ribs bone-side down.

Smoke using post oak or hickory wood.

4. Spritz (Optional)
Every 90 minutes, lightly spritz the meat with apple cider vinegar or beef broth to keep it moist.

5. Wrap
When the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, wrap it in butcher paper or foil.

Beef ribs can remain unwrapped unless the bark is getting too dark.

6. Finish Cooking
Brisket: Cook until the internal temperature reaches 203°F and the meat feels tender when probed.

Ribs: Cook until the internal temperature reaches 200–205°F and they probe like softened butter, usually 6–8 hours total.

7. Rest
Allow both the brisket and ribs to rest for at least 1 hour, wrapped, in a warm place or insulated cooler.

8. Slice and Serve
Slice brisket against the grain.

Cut ribs between the bones.

Serve with classic barbecue sides like coleslaw, baked beans, or potato salad.
