👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat smoker to 225°F (107°C) using hickory or oak wood chips for smoke flavor.

⏱️ 15 min (ish) 🌡️ 225°F

AI Wisdom: Maintain a consistent smoke throughout the cooking process.
2

Coat the brisket with yellow mustard, then season generously with the beef dry rub, ensuring full coverage.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Mustard helps the rub adhere and adds flavor.
3

Once the smoker is ready, place the brisket fat side up on the rack. Insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.

AI Wisdom: Position the brisket for even cooking and monitor the internal temperature.
4

Smoke the brisket until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), spritzing with a mixture of beef broth and apple cider vinegar every hour to keep it moist.

⏱️ 6 min (ish) 🌡️ 225°F

AI Wisdom: This can take about 1.5 hours per pound.
5

Once the brisket reaches 165°F (74°C), wrap it tightly in foil and continue smoking until it reaches an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C) for a tender finish.

AI Wisdom: This helps tenderize the meat further.
6

Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest in the foil for 1 hour before slicing against the grain. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

⏱️ 60 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier brisket.
