Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brisket

    Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C). Rub the brisket with olive oil and generously apply the BBQ rub, ensuring it's covered evenly.

  2. 2

    Smoking the Brisket

    Place the brisket in the smoker or on the grill. Smoke for about 1 hour per pound, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cactus

    While the brisket is cooking, rinse the sliced cactus under cold water. In a skillet, add the cactus and a splash of olive oil. Sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

  4. 4

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, beef broth, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serving the Brisket

    Once the brisket is done, let it rest for 30 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the sautéed cactus, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
