Grilled Beef Brisket

Begin by making the brine. In a saucepan, heat vinegar to the boiling point, then remove from heat and mix in sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, Tabasco, liquid smoke and garlic. Let the mixture come to room temperature for 20 minutes. Add 7 cups of ice cold water and mix until all salt and sugar is dissolved.

Place brisket in a large Ziploc bag, 1 or 2 gallon size, pour brine over meat and refrigerate for 4 to 48 hours.

Prior to grilling remove brisket from brine and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Place brisket in a metal disposable pan after coating each side with steak seasoning. Pour root beer in pan.

Place brisket in pan on a 300 degree F grill without covering for 10 minutes. Then cover with aluminum foil and cook for another 90 minutes.

Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce on the side.
