Suan's® Barbecued Beef Brisket, Dry Rub and Barbecue Sauce

Barbecued Beef Brisket

6 cups mesquite chips
4-pound beef brisket, untrimmed
2 tablespoons Dry Rub

Soak mesquite chips in water to cover for 1 hour, drain well.

Prepare barbecue grill, lighting fire at one end only. Rub brisket with Dry Rub. When coals are white hot place meat over coals and sear 5 minutes on each side. Move meat to side of grill away from fire. Spread 4 cups mesquite over coals. Cover grill. Smoke brisket 1 hour; maintain temperature at about 200 degrees, sprinkling mesquite with water occasionally. Spread remaining 2 cups mesquite over coals and continue smoking meat 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees, cut ½ cup fat from brisket and reserve for sauce. Spread 1 teaspoon of Suan's® Scotch Bonnet Flavor Sauce on each side of brisket, wrap beef tightly with heavy-duty foil, place in 9” X 13” baking pan.  Bake 8 hours.  Slice meat across grain.  Serve hot, pass the sauce separately.
