Barbecue Beef Brisket
Makes: 8-10 servings
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 5-6 hours
	1	beef brisket flat (5-6 pounds)
	1	tablespoon beef bouillon base
		Dry Rub
	1	cup beef broth
Dry Rub:
	1/2	tablespoon salt
	1/2	tablespoon paprika
	1/2	tablespoon black pepper
	1/2	tablespoon sugar
	3/4	teaspoon garlic powder
	1/2	teaspoon onion powder
	1/4	teaspoon oregano
	1/8	teaspoon ground coriander

Build a charcoal fire with Kingsford charcoal for indirect cooking by situating coals on only one side of grill, leaving other side void.

Cover entire brisket with beef bouillon base. In small bowl, mix dry rub ingredients and coat brisket with rub. When cooker reaches 225°F, place brisket on void side of grill and close lid. Cook for 4 hours, until internal temperature reaches 160-170°F.

Remove brisket from grill and place in shallow baking dish or disposable aluminum pan. Pour beef broth over brisket and cover pan with aluminum foil. Place baking dish in cooker for an additional 1-2 hours, until internal temperature reaches 185°F.

Remove baking dish from grill and let meat rest undisturbed for 20-30 minutes. Slice brisket across grain and serve.

Place cucumbers, whole tomato and onion directly over hot coals (approximately 450°F) and cook, turning once, for 4 minutes or until they brown and start to soften.

Barbecue Benedict
Makes: 6 servings
Prep time: 45 minutes
Cook time: 7 minutes
	1	white onion cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
		Onion Marinade
		Barbecue Benedict Sauce
	3	English muffins cut in half
	1	pound leftover beef brisket
	6	poached eggs
Onion Marinade:
	9	tablespoons soy sauce
	3	tablespoons lemon juice
	6	tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
	6	tablespoons water
	6	teaspoons dark brown sugar
	3/4	teaspoon garlic powder
	3/4	teaspoon black pepper
Barbecue Benedict Sauce:
	3	egg yolks
	1	teaspoon vinegar
	1	teaspoon water
	1	cup butter, melted

In small bowl, mix onion marinade ingredients. Pour marinade into resealable plastic bag and add onion strips. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

For sauce, place egg yolks, vinegar and water into stainless steel bowl and vigorously whip until mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Place bowl over sauce pan containing barely simmering water (just below boil), making sure bottom of bowl does not touch water. Whisk continuously, making sure eggs don't get too hot or they will scramble. Very slowly drizzle melted butter into mixture while whisking rapidly until mixture thickens and doubles in volume. Remove from heat and stir in remaining sauce ingredients.

Build charcoal fire for direct grilling. Place onion strips in grill basket and cook directly over hot coals (approximately 450°F), stirring often for 5 minutes or until onions brown and start to soften. Remove onions from grill and set aside.

Place English muffin halves directly over hot coals for 2 minutes or until toasted. Remove each from grill and top with leftover beef brisket, grilled onions and a poached egg. Drizzle with Barbecue Benedict Sauce.
