Instructions

  1. Preheat your smoker to 250° F.
  2. Remove corned beef from packaging, rinse with cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.

if using the rub

  1. Place all rub ingredients in small dry skillet and toast over medium heat, shaking pan occasionally being careful not to burn (do not walk away!). This should only take 2-3 minutes.
  2. Transfer spices to a spice grinder to achieve semi-fine powder. Alternatively, you can use a mortar and pestle if you prefer a rough grind. You will now have about 1 cup of ground spice rub.
  3. Rub 1/2 cup (half of the total rub) all over meat.

to smoke

  1. Place corned beef directly on the smoker grate, fat side up and insert your smoker’s thermometer probe. Smoke for 3-4 hours until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. 
  2. Once your meat reaches 165° F, mix beef broth and pickling spices (either the other half your homemade blend from above or the packet that comes with your beef) in an aluminum pan.
  3. Take the corned beef off the smoker grate and place in the aluminum pan. Reinsert your smoker’s meat thermometer probe into the thickest part of the brisket. Cover tightly with aluminum foil. 
  4. Smoke for another 3-4 hours until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 203° F. 
  5. Remove from smoker and let rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Thinly slice corned beef against the grain with a sharp knife and serve warm.
