Smoked BBQ Corned Beef Brisket and Cabbage
Fist time trying my hand at smoking....first time making a corned beef brisket too.
I waited 3 weeks to make this delicious meal. 3 weeks on a raw vegan diet, 1 night in heaven.
In trying to get my apple wood to smoke well, I over smoked the meat just by a bit, which in turn dried it out a little. I wasn't quite going for pastrami but just to add a little camp fire to it and then low and slow it, putting on a nice and spicy bark.
Look at that beautiful hunk of meat lol
gotta have the veggies and some fresh garlic
45 mins on simmer with spices
then took the brisket out and tossed in the veggies (set aside for a few hours)
put a nice dry rub on before it went onto the smoker (crushed basil, coriander, powdered mustard, seasalt and garlic and three color peppercorn)
finished product. (bark was made with Lea&Perrin's Worcester thick style, stone ground mustard from local rock Island Illinois, brown sugar, All good 7's 7 pot powder and Smoked Bhut powder)
Plating
Close up, with burnt ends
Aftermath......I had to hold myself back from eating the whole thing!
