This is a smoking or slow-grilling beef brisket. The apple and orange juices really bring out the flavor of the meat.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup apple juice

  • 1 cup orange juice

  • 6 pounds beef brisket

  • ⅓ cup steak rub

Directions

  1. To marinate, mix the apple juice and orange juice in a nonporous glass bowl. Add the brisket, toss to coat and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate to marinate for 4 to 6 hours. Remove brisket from the bowl, discard any remaining marinade and cover brisket with the rub. Wrap the meat in plastic and refrigerate from 8 hours to overnight.

  2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  3. Roast brisket in preheated oven for 2 to 3 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer measures 195 degrees F (90 degrees C). Slice across the grain of the meat to serve.

Smoking or indirect heat-grilling directions: smoke the brisket for 8 to 10 hours at 170 degrees F (80 degrees C).
