Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 .5 lb pork brisket boneless, trimmed of excess fat
  • kosher salt
  • 1 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 cup pork rub
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • Carolina mustard sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare your smoker with wood chips and place a pan of water on the bottom rack.
  2. Sprinkle salt all over the brisket. Place on a baking sheet and chill for at least one hour, or overnight. (No need to cover the brisket.)
  3. Smear yellow mustard all over the brisket and then liberally sprinkle on the pork rub. In a spritzer bottle, combine the apple cider vinegar with ½ cup water.
  4. Smoke the brisket, fat side up, until an internal temperature reaches 165°F, usually about 3 hours. Spray the brisket with the apple cider vinegar mixture once an hour.
  5. Remove the brisket from the smoker and wrap it in butcher paper.
  6. Return the wrapped brisket to the smoker and cook until an internal temperature reaches 190°F.
  7. Remove the brisket from the smoker and place it in a cooler (still in the wrapper) that has been lined with a clean towel. Wrap the towel over the brisket and close the cooler for 1 to 2 hours.
  8. Remove the brisket from the cooler and take off the butcher paper. Use a sharp knife to cut into slices.
  9. Serve at once with Carolina mustard sauce on the side (if desired).

Notes

  • NOTE: Watch the video near the top of the recipe for visual guidance.
  • NOTE:
  • The rub can be made up to 3 weeks in advance. The Carolina mustard sauce can be made up to 1 week in advance. 
  • The mustard acts only as a binder for the rub, it does not impart a mustard taste at all. 
  • To wrap the brisket, place it in the middle of a rectangular piece of butcher paper, closest to you. Wrap the sides in over the brisket, and then gently turn the brisket over, like a present, until it is covered. See the video for reference. 
  • Leftovers will keep covered in the fridge for 5 to 6 days. Wrap in foil and heat in a low-temp oven (250°F) until heated through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Or, nuke briefly in the microwave.
