👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Prepare the smoker according to manufacturer's instructions and preheat to 225°F (107°C). Use wood chunks or chips for smoke flavor.

⏱️ 15 min (ish) 🌡️ 225°F (107°C)

AI Wisdom: Maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process.
2

Coat the brisket with yellow mustard, then evenly sprinkle the beef rub seasoning, covering the entire surface.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Ensure a generous coating for a flavorful bark.
3

Once the smoker is ready, place the brisket on the grate fat side up. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.

AI Wisdom: Fat side up helps baste the meat as it cooks.
4

Smoke the brisket, maintaining a steady temperature, until the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C), about 1.5 hours per pound.

🌡️ 200°F (93°C)

AI Wisdom: Wrap in foil if the bark darkens too quickly.
5

In a saucepan, combine beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes to create a basting liquid.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: This will keep the brisket moist during the final cooking stage.
6

Once the brisket reaches 200°F (93°C), baste it with the liquid, wrap in foil, and let it rest for 1 hour before slicing against the grain.

⏱️ 60 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a moist brisket.
