    Summer Sunday Dinners: Traeger Smoked Brisket (+ More Great Recipes!)

    Summer Sunday dinners are a time to gather together with loved ones and enjoy a flavorful home-cooked meal. We've put together a list of the best dinner recipes to share with your family and friends this summer. Whether you are looking for summer Sunday dinners that are quick and easy or a good reason to fire up the grill, you will find it all here!
    Author | Angela
    Servings: 10 servings
    Calories: 756kcal
    Prep 15 minutes
    Cooking 3 hours
    Total Time 3 hours 15 minutes
    Pin Recipe Share on Facebook

    Ingredients
     

    • 10 lb beef brisket
    • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
    • ½ cup water
    • ½ cup mustard
    • 2 cups brisket dry rub (1 whole batch of our brisket dry rub)

    Instructions

    Trimming Your Brisket

    • To prepare your brisket, flip it upside down (so the fat cap is on the cutting board) and use a sharp knife to trim any excess fat or silverskin from the underside. Then, locate the large, moon-shaped area of pure fat and slice it off in a sawing motion. It does not need to be 100% removed, just enough to level it off with the rest of the brisket so it will cook evenly.
      10 lb beef brisket
    • Square your brisket by trimming the long, thin strips of fat off the sides. No need to fully remove it all, just trim until the meat is as uniform in shape and thickness as you can make it. Do the same to the ends of the brisket. Keep in mind, the point of the brisket will be somewhat knobby and not uniform and that is fine. Simply remove any loose or hanging meat to prevent it from burning.
    • Flip your brisket over and trim the fat cap. You want it to be between ¼" and ½" in thickness all the way across. Once your brisket is looking fairly uniform all the way around, you're ready to get smoking.

    Smoked Traeger Brisket

    • Preheat your smoker to 300°F (150°C) and make a 50/50 solution of apple cider vinegar and water in a food-grade spritz bottle. Set aside. Slather mustard on all sides of your prepared brisket, then season generously with the brisket dry rub.
      ½ cup mustard, 2 cups brisket dry rub, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ½ cup water
    • Once your smoker has come to temperature, place the seasoned brisket fat-side-down on the grill grate. Cook for 1 ½ hours undisturbed.
    • After 1 ½ hours, spritz the brisket with the apple cider solution. Do this every 30 minutes for another 1 ½ hours or until the brisket reaches an internal temperature of 204°F (95°C).
    • Remove your brisket from the smoker and place it on a serving tray or large cutting board. Tent a piece of foil loosely over the top and let it rest for 15 minutes.
    • Slice your brisket against the grain and serve!

    Equipment You May Need

    Cutting Board
    Fillet Knife
    Smoker (Traeger, pellet, wood, charcoal, or an electric smoker)

    Notes

    • Though I did not brine my brisket, many people opt to brine it overnight in a sugar and salt solution and that is fine if you prefer. 
    • Resting your brisket is essential in keeping it tender and juicy! This gives the meat enough time to re-absorb its own juices as it sits.

    Nutrition
