Montreal seasoned smoked brisket

Canadian Beef

I haven't tried this yet, but I'd suggest steaming the roast for tenderness and moisture... actually, I can make it in my Cameron Smoker

Ingredients

  • 1 brisket
  • 3 hours 50 minutes 20 mins prep
  • *Montreal Spice Mix
  • 2 teaspoons peppercorns
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 tablespoon celery seeds
  • 2 allspice berries
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • *Montreal Smoked Meat
  • 3 lbs beef brisket, with fat on
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 3 slices double smoked bacon
  • 2 cups wood chips, such as apple, cherry or maple, soaked in water for 5 minutes

Directions

1. Montreal Spice Mix: Over medium heat, toast the peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds mustard seeds, allspice berries, celery seeds in a small sauté pan or cast iron frying pan until fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Grind spices coarsely in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder; combine with the remaining ingredients.
3. Montreal Smoked Meat: Rub 1⁄2 of the spice mixture all over the brisket; let brisket sit overnight so flavor permeates the meat.
4. Preheat oven to 250º ; fit the rack of a roasting pan into a roasting pan, add wine to the roasting pan & put the brisket on the rack.
5. Cover the brisket with the slices of bacon, cover with foil & slow cook for 3 hours or until meat is tender.
6. Remove from oven& add remaining spice mixture; smoke brisket with the wood chips in a smoker over low flame according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 20 to 30 minutes.
7. You may also use your barbecue to smoke the meat - wrap the wood chips loosely with foil paper, poke holes in the foil, add wood chips to the barbecue on medium high heat; when the chips start to smoke, turn the grill to low heat& put the meat on the upper part of grill.
