Rub the beef brisket well with salt and pepper the night before. This will deepen the flavor of the meat.
Set your barbecue or oven to about 248 degrees. Add the smoke from oak wood or oak wood to the barbecue or oven.
Seal the meat over high heat (about 230 degrees) for 10-15 minutes. Then lower the heat and cook on low heat for about 6-8 hours. Meat should be cooked until soft and crispy.
If you prefer to use barbecue sauce, rub it over the meat once or twice in the last hour.
Let the meat rest after the cooking process is finished. This will keep the juices in it and the meat will taste better.
Slice the rested meat and serve with white bread, pickles and onions. On the side, you can serve classic side items such as barbecue beans, coleslaw, and potato salad.
This recipe is based on the principles of authentic Central Texas-Style BBQ that emphasize simplicity and the natural flavors of the meat. Also, cooking times and temperatures can vary, so it's a good idea to check how the meat is cooked.
