Master Smoked Brisket with Tips from Chef David Figueroa Featured in Woman’s World
We’re beyond excited to share some fantastic news with you! Our very own David Figueroa, the mastermind behind Melinda’s Hot Sauce, has been featured in an article on Woman’s World titled “Smoked Brisket: Easy Shortcut Recipe”. The article offers readers valuable tips on mastering the perfect smoked brisket, and we’re proud to say David’s expertise is front and center!
In the article, David shares his top-notch brisket preparation techniques. He advises, “I like to trim my brisket of excess fat, leaving about a quarter inch on the top and streamlining the piece of meat so the smoke goes across it evenly.” This ensures the meat absorbs the smoky flavors uniformly. Another crucial tip from David: “Fat side up, always!” He emphasizes the importance of pushing the brisket to the ideal internal temperature of 203-205 degrees for that perfect tenderness.
David also highlights his preference for a traditional Texas-style rub: “The rub is simply coarse black pepper and kosher salt, no binder or anything else, Texas Style!” This straightforward approach ensures the meat’s natural flavors shine through.
