1
Prepare the Brisket
Trim excess fat from the brisket and rub it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Ensure it is evenly coated.
2
Smoke the Brisket
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the brisket in the smoker and cook for 6-8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).
3
Cube the Brisket
Remove the brisket from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Cut the brisket into 1-inch cubes.
4
Toss in Sauce
In a large bowl, toss the brisket cubes with your choice of sauce until well coated.
5
Sear the Burnt Ends
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill to high heat. Add the sauced brisket cubes and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized and crispy.
6
Serve
Remove from heat and serve hot as an appetizer or main dish.
