Effortless Savory Delight: Quick Brisket Bliss with Texas Rub
Cooking on weekdays often demands efficiency without compromising on flavor, and my use of the Hot and Fast Beef Brisket method perfectly suits these hectic moments. Embracing this approach, especially when time is fleeting, has been a game-changer. Opting for a prime cut over choice beef has unlocked an extra dimension in flavor and juiciness. The additional fat marbling has transformed the brisket into a succulent, moist delight, elevating the overall taste experience.
One memorable instance that stands out is preparing this brisket for a gathering on a particularly rushed week. As the tantalizing aroma filled the air, the brisket emerged from the smoker, boasting a stunning mahogany hue and a captivating tenderness that made every slice a sensation. The rich, smoky essence blended flawlessly with the robust flavors imparted by the Texas Beef BBQ Rub, leaving an indelible mark on our taste buds.
Choosing the hot and fast method not only ensures a savory delight but also manages to capture the essence of slow-smoked brisket in a fraction of the time. The brisket’s texture, juicy and tender, encapsulates the essence of a perfect weekday indulgence—a culinary journey worth savoring amidst life’s hustle and bustle.

Hot and Fast Beef Brisket
Ingredients
- Full packer Beef brisket Prime suggested
- Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub
- 2 cans of Beef Consommé typically 10.5 oz each
Instructions
- Prepare the Brisket: Trim the fat to about a 1/4 inch thickness and remove any silverskin from the brisket.
- Season the Brisket: Apply a generous coating of Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub on all sides of the brisket.
- Preheat the Smoker: Fire up your smoker and preheat it to 325°F using Oak or Mesquite wood.
- Start Smoking: Place the brisket on the smoker, positioning it over indirect heat with the fat side down. Let it cook for 1 hour, then flip it over. After another hour, start checking the temperature. Use a digital meat thermometer to monitor. The brisket should be around 165°F and possess a mahogany color. If it hasn’t reached 165°F yet, return it to the smoker, checking the temperature every 15-20 minutes.
- Wrap in Foil: Lay down 2 sheets of aluminum foil and place the brisket on top. Seal the brisket by folding the foil on three sides, then pour in 1 1/2 cups of beef consommé before sealing the fourth side of the foil.
- Continue Cooking: Put the wrapped brisket back onto the smoker. Cook until the brisket reaches an internal core temperature of 210°F.
- Rest the Brisket: Remove the brisket from the heat, open up the foil, and allow it to rest until it stops steaming.
- Save Juices and Serve: Save the juices for use as a dipping sauce, and add more consommé if desired before serving.
