Instructions:

1. Prepare the Brisket:

   • In a large stockpot, combine the brisket with 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, onions, garlic, bay leaves, and crab boil.
   • Add enough cold water to cover the brisket by 6 inches.
   • Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
   • Cook until the brisket is fork-tender but not falling apart, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on the size of the meat.
   • Once tender, remove the brisket from the stockpot and allow it to cool. This can be done one day in advance of grilling.

2. Prepare the Grill:

   • When you’re ready to grill, set up your barbecue pit with coals on one side, leaving the other side free for the brisket during smoking.
   • Soak your favorite smoke wood in water and set it aside.

3. Create the Seasoning Rub:

   • In a small bowl, combine the remaining salt, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, and granulated garlic. Mix well to create a seasoning rub.

4. Season and Grill the Brisket:

   • Place the brisket on a large cookie sheet and coat each side with Worcestershire sauce.
   • Spread the seasoning mixture evenly over each side of the brisket.
   • Using tongs, sear the seasoned brisket directly over the white-hot coals to lock in flavor, approximately 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
   • Once seared and browned, move the brisket to the cooler side of the pit.
   • Add a few handfuls of soaked smoke wood over the hot coals.
   • Close the lid and allow the brisket to smoke off the direct heat until fully flavored and heated thoroughly, approximately 1 hour.

5. Slice and Serve:

   • Once done, slice the brisket against the grain and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, marinate the brisket in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
• Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.
• Keep an eye on the brisket while it’s smoking to prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Twice Cooked Barbecue Brisket is a crowd-pleasing dish that’s perfect for any occasion. With its bold Cajun flavors and tender texture, it’s sure to become a favorite in your household. Serve it up at your next gathering and watch as it disappears in no time! Enjoy 😋🔥
