Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Cooking the Brisket or Pork

    Season the brisket or pork with salt and pepper. Smoke or grill until the internal temperature reaches 195°F for brisket or 145°F for pork. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Preparation of Cornbread

    Making the Cornbread

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch square baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
