Slow Cooked Cajun Brisket

Smoking a brisket can be an intimidating task, but with this Instructable and my 3-stage smoking technique, you'll be serving up fork-tender, mouth-watering brisket like a pro.

Step 1 Gather Ingredients

You'll need to gather everything at least a day ahead of time to allow the meat to marinate overnight.

- Large Disposable Pan with Plastic Lid.
- Trimmed Brisket (the size doesn't matter, I used 2 small ones)
- 1 Bottle Claude's Brisket Marinade
- 1 Bottle Cheap Italian Dressing
- Two Gallon Sized Ziploc Bags
- Aluminum Foil
- 4 Fist-Sized Hickory Wood Chunks
- Creole-Style Rub (or any dry rub of your choice)
- Your Favorite BBQ Sauce

Excellent recipe!**** I am looking forward to adding a little cajun kick to my next brisket.

Thanks! If you want to make the rub a little hotter you can add a teaspoon of red pepper. If you want to try a great-tasting spicy sauce, give Stubbs Spicy BBQ Sauce a try!

I absolutely love Stubbs BBQ sauce. It is one of the few you can buy off the shelf that has rstuarant quality.

Great recipe, I made this just the other day along with a couple shoulders of pulled pork. I used a better grade of beef than a brisket (Could only find corned beef brisket at the store) and the beef fell apart almost TOO much. I will definitely try this again with brisket. The rub was great!!

Great! I'm glad you liked the rub, and thanks for trying out my instructable.

bah barely close enough to claim anything as cajun. i'm from sulphur down near lake charles

[SiriusScrilla]

Cool, if you want some real cajun food go to Leonard's on highway 14 and try the crawfish etouffee. We lived in DeRidder for a long time and went to Lake Charles quite often.

Hey scrilla! That is some good stuff ya! I love how you thinned out the sauce with the juice from the smoking! This meat will have you begging for more. Good job, and great pictures.

As a meat connoisseur, I must say... this recipe is by far the best I have ever tasted! Instructions were so easy even a caveman could do it.
