Okay----I did promise to give the recipe, didn't I SoCalQ?  Just teasing...this to me-- needs to be tweaked a bit...but had a great after taste on the meat. I really like playing with recipes and fixing them to what our family likes.  Just because I can!  Haha!

Kat's Beef Rub

1 cup sugar (cane/white)
1 cup garlic salt
1/2 cup paprika
3 Tbs black pepper
2 Tbs chilli powder
1 Tbs beef boullion (powdered....grind the granules in a spice grinder to a powder)
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp cayenne

Put all ingredients thru sifter to get the hard bits out and store in an airtight container. (plus I did the amounts the Southern way...rounded measures...

)

I used a Pampered Chef flour/sugar shaker to put the rub on the briskets...was so easy....could keep one hand from getting yucky and not contaminating the rest of the rub.  Just poured some of the dry rub in it...shake it as generously as you want.  I did do a heavy amount on the briskets.

Sounds good. I will try this rub when I smoke a brisket again. I like the idea of using a shaker to put the rub on. I usually ended having to use 3 hands as I do it now.

Here is the one that I used yesterday....it's a whole $7.00 too.

Sliced the 2nd brisket tonight.  It had a longer cooler nap yesterday.  We are having "re-runs" for sides from the Christmas dinners.

This one was more tender.

Great job. Looks delicious....

Looks nice. Man that cooler nap works wonders for juciness! My wife and I had prime rib on Christmas eve and again Christmas day. Two different roasts....one was rested in a cooler, the other was not, and boy what a difference.

Kathryn, once you sift out the hard bits of the rub, do you grind them up and add them back in? Just curious. thanks.

I just toss the hard bit...they are minimal...and won't change anything in the recipe.  It would take forever to grind again...they are like Rocks!

Gotch ya! Thanks!

Job well done

. I haven't done brisket in 3-4 months, makes me want to run over to Sam's for a couple Packers.

 

[roadkill cafe]

Those look sooooo gooooood Kat!! Got me craving brisket now. Very juicy. Great job!!!

 

[kathrynn]

Whew!  Thanks everyone!  The 2nd one passed the Hubby Test!
