7-Hour Smoked Brisket | Recipe

Combine rub ingredients in a small bowl. Generously coat brisket with lots of black pepper on all sides then the spice rub, massaging the spices into the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit overnight in the fridge.

Preheat a smoker to around 250F and set up for cooking over indirect heat by placing coals and wood chips to one side. Place brisket on the other side and cook fat side up for 4 hours.

Pull the meat off and slather with the grated onion. Using a double layer of foil, create a pouch/packet for the brisket. Add apple juice and beer and tightly seal the foil.

Place back in the smoker for another 2 hours, adding a handful of chips and 12 or so coals. After 2 hours, open the lid and let the brisket sit in the packet for another hour.

Combine all ingredients for RR Smoky Beef BBQ Sauce in a small sauce pot and cook over a low bubble for 15-20 minutes. Reserve.

Stir ingredients for the Horseradish Sauce together in a small bowl to combine. Reserve.

To serve, thinly slice the brisket on a large cutting board. Add some RR Smoky Beef BBQ Sauce and give everything a rough chop to combine.
