I've followed barbecue cooking styles for years and brisket is considered one of the most challenging meats.
I have have been a judge at competition barbecue events.
The above meal was days in the making,I had to request the butcher roll up a flat brisket to fit on the small home made smoker.
Well worth the effort,there were four very elated diners that day,the meal was a complete success.
I used an Irish Marinade for the rolled beef brisket:
3 cans of Guinness,Tarragon,Parsley,Worcestershire,English Mustard Powder,Soy Sauce,Garlic Cloves and Scallions.
Set for 24 hours.
Dusted with John Henry's Texas brisket Rub.
On the smoker at 9:00 AM.
Mixed Royal Oak Brick and Lump Charcoal.
Used Oak and a small amount of Pecan Wood Chunks.
Off the smoker at 5:00 PM (205F internal).
Rested for an hour.
Brisket was 13in. long to start and finished at 10in. length.
Never pickled green onions but have pickled pearl onions,baby corn and asparagus spears.
