Brisket, The Holy Grail of Pit BBQ I only cook Prime briskets with the point attached for maximum flavor, worth every penny. My Keto Friendly Big Bad Brisket Rub is the same rub that I use on my BBQ pit for low and slow cooks. I also use a little Morton’s Tender quick for the nice smoke ring which is optional just like the liquid smoke. I keep the rub very simple but just enough spice to compliment this yummy brisket. Serve with my killer Keto creamy brisket gravy. Enjoy authentic BBQ with a few easy steps!

Ingredients for 10

  • Whole Prime Brisket

  • Big Bad Brisket Rub

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh cracked pepper

  • 2 tsp chili powder

  • 1 Tbsp white sugar substitute

  • 1 Tbsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp cayenne

  • 1 tsp mustard powder

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 Tbsp Morton’s Tender Quick (optional)

Directions

  • Step 1

    Set your Anova Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 155ºF / 68.3ºC

  • Step 2

    Mix up your brisket rub

  • Step 3

    Trim the brisket fat down to a 1/4” and save the fat for tallow. Cut the brisket into large chunks that will fit into a foodsaver bag.

  • Step 4

    Cover the brisket with brisket rub but reserve 2 Tbsp for the finishing stage. Seal meat in a foodsaver bag. I like to double bag in case it springs a leak

  • Step 5

    Drop into preheated water for 24 hours. Weigh the bag down to the bottom with a weight on top.

  • Step 6

    Sometimes I clip something heavy like this onto the bag to cook vertically.

  • Step 7

    This method works well when taking it out as a little piece of the bag is easy to grab.

    • Fire Up The Smoker, Grill Or Oven

    • Step 0

      Preheat your grill to 290-300 degrees

    • Step 1

      Cut the corner off the foodsaver bag and reserve the beef juices for an outstanding finishing sauce.

    • Step 2

      Place brisket fat side up on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle fresh rub over the surface.

    • Step 3

      Cook over indirect heat to firm up the fat and bark. A brisket flat won’t take as long as the point portion. This piece took 1 1/2 hours at 290 degrees. The fat on the cookie sheet kind of deep frys the bottom for some crunchy bits.

    • Step 4

      Rendering the Fat Trimmings Remember the trimmed fat pieces! Place the fat pieces on a grate over a foil pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill beside the brisket and cook to render the fat into dripping called tallow. Tallow is great for frying, it has a high smoke point and great flavour. The crisp fat can be served with the brisket. They also make a great Keto Fat Bomb.

    • Step 5

      Remove the brisket from the grill when finished and tent with tinfoil and make this creamy brisket sauce.

    • Step 6

      Mince a clove of garlic and add 2 Tbsp diced onion to a saucepan. Add 2 Tbsp butter and sauté till light brown. Pour in 2 cups of brisket broth and simmer till reduced by half. Stir in a 1/2 cup of whipping cream and reduce until it looks like this. ‘Stir constantly’

    • Step 7

      Serve with creamy brisket sauce.

    • Step 8

      Perfect texture!
