Smoked Beef Brisket with Carolina Rub

April 25, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I told you I have been on a major barbecue kick lately and I can’t stop myself.  Last week I brought to you my Memphis Style Rub with Grilled Pork Tenderloin and was it mighty good, but today I am sharing with you Smoked Beef Brisket with Carolina Rub, aaaaamazing!!!
Smoked Beef Brisket with Carolina Rub
This may look like a big piece of burnt meat, but oh my gosh it is so good!! The meat may have cooked a pinch longer than it should have, but it was still fork tender and the skin was unbeatable! The rub that I made  has brown sugar, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground pepper, salt and a couple more ingredients. The rub is a little sweet and a little spicy and when it cooked on the brisket it made a wonderful, thick, caramelized  glaze. I think I’m in love!!  I might just like this better than my Memphis Rub, but not sure.  I’ll have to do a cook off with myself to test it out.  Sounds like a fun weekend for me!  You can check out the brisket when I put the rub on it.  Here’s the picture that I shot on Instagram.
Homemade Carolina Rub
To make the brisket, I added my rub to it and let it marinate for a couple of hours. You can do this for up to 24 hours. I cooked it on a charcoal grill because I believe that would give the brisket the best flavor. We heated the charcoal and once it turned to ash, we pushed it to one side of the grill. We placed the brisket to the opposite side of the grill with fat side up. Then we let it cook for about 5 hours, add more charcoal coals as needed. Cooking time depends on how big of a piece of brisket you have.

Prep time
10 mins
Total time
5 hours 10 mins
 
A slow cooked, smoked brisket that has been covered in a sweet and spicy homemade Carolina Style Rub.
Serves: 24 oz
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup paprika
  • 2 tbsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp. chili powder
  • 2 tbsp. black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. cayenne pepper
  • 2 pound beef brisket
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, add paprika, salt, sugar, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  2. Sprinkle rub on to brisket, rub it in until the whole brisket is covered. You can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours if desired.
  3. If using a charcoal grill, heat the charcoal, once it turns to ash, push the charcoal to one side of the grill and place brisket over the opposite side (side without the charcoal) with fat side facing up. That way you are slowly cooking and smoking your brisket. Cook the brisket until tender enough to shred with your fingers; 5 hours, but it may take as long as 8 (cooking time will depend on the size of the brisket and heat of the grill). Note: You may have to add more coals. Just check on it every hour or so.
  4. Remove the brisket from the grill and let rest for 15 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and thinly slice it across the grain.

Smoked Beef Brisket with Carolina Rub
I highly recommend using a rub when cooking your meat. The past couple of weeks was the first time that I started to use rubs and let me tell you it tastes great. The skin of your meat tastes restaurant style and truly in my opinion the best. Make your own rubs, like this one! There are so many options out there, make what you like. The next one I think is going to be super spicy! Just saying! he he

Have a fabulous weekend!! Hope you can get your grills going!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Oh you should try it. It’s a very simple recipe and brisket isn’t to bad priced if you buy it at Costco.

    Aaaaaaaaawesome sounding. I love brisket. This rub sounds like it would be good on just about anything. I’m ready for grilling season.

    Curious how you say Sugar 0 when you have 4 tablespoons in the rub?

      Hi, because the sugar level is so low that it registered as zero when I added the calculation.

    Umm…2 lbs of brisket?

    That’s a pretty damned small cow.

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.
🐇
Do you have any plans for Easter?

I am sharing with you how I styled my little table. I received the cutest wooden eggs from @sugarnmilkco. I love the pastel colors. They are just so cute and go with my Easter decor beautifully.
🐰
Sugar n Milk Co is having a Spring sale. Be sure you check them out. They ship fast too. The link is in my bio.

Hope the sun is shining where you live!

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.

The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
