Brisket for the smoker-less households

So, you’ve probably read a thousand different ways in which a brisket should be smoked and all our ‘fire up the smoker’, ‘brush up on those smoking skills’ moments this month. But, if you don’t have a smoker, you might’ve thought to yourself ‘I get it, I didn’t buy one. Next topic’. Well, you’re in luck.

Yes, we are talking to you. The grill and oven master who did not see the need in purchasing a (rather expensive, not gonna lie) smoker. This article was created for you. A how-to guide on how to cook a halal beef brisket, for the smoker-less households.

And trust us, they will never tell the difference.

The night before

All you need is a fridge and aluminum paper. Well, a little more- but truly, not much. In terms of ingredients, you’ll want to mix 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, a generous amount of sea salt, 2-3 drops of chili or hot sauce, and 2 tablespoons of black pepper.

You’ll then want to rub this sauce all over your Healthy Halal Beef Brisket and place it, fat side up, in a baking dish. Cover it and let it marinate overnight.

Roast O'Clock

The next day, all you have to do is let it bake at 300°, covered, for a total of 4 hours. Then, about 20 minutes before it’s ready to pull out of the oven, you will cover the brisket with this mixture and pop it back in: ½ cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey mustard, and 2-3 drops of hot sauce. Slice it. Serve it. Enjoy!

Before agriculture became industrial and commercialised, the countryside was a patchwork of smallholdings and modest farms. Animals lived in small flocks or herds and were treasured for milk, eggs and wool as well as for meat. This meant that when an animal was slaughtered, every last bit of the carcass was precious. As well as enjoying the obviously meaty muscles, people derived valuable nutrition from the vitamin-and-mineral packed halal offal and sought out the sweetbreads (the thymus gland and pancreas) as delicacies.
