Bourbon BBQ Brisket Steak

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Preheat your grill or smoker to medium heat. Rub the brisket steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Let it marinate while you prepare the BBQ sauce.

  2. 2

    Make the Bourbon BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine bourbon whiskey, brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until it thickens.

  3. 3

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket on the grill or in the smoker. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, brushing with the bourbon BBQ sauce every 30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 195°F (90°C) for tenderness.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix and coleslaw dressing. Toss until evenly coated and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  5. 5

    Make Fresh-Cut Fries

    Cut the potatoes into fries and soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and dry thoroughly. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the brisket against the grain and serve with the bourbon BBQ sauce, alongside coleslaw and fresh-cut fries.
