Step

• 1

  When ready to cook, set temperature to High and preheat for 15 minutes. Season the brisket liberally with Traeger Prime Rib Rub and kosher salt.

• 2

  Place the brisket directly on the grill grate, fat side down and cook for 30-45 minutes until fat is caramelized and lightly browned.

  While the brisket is cooking, heat a sauté pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the onion and cook for 5-6 minutes stirring occasionally until lightly caramelized. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.

• 4

  Add the oregano, thyme, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

• 5

  Deglaze the pan with beef stock scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add ketchup and brown sugar and bring to a simmer.

• 6

  Remove the brisket from the grill and place in a baking dish. Pour the onion mixture over the brisket and cover tightly with foil.

• 7

  Reduce the grill temperature to 225℉ and place the baking dish directly on the grill grate. Braise for 5 -6 hours or until the brisket is fork tender.

  225 ˚F / 107 ˚C

  Remove from grill and vent the foil. Cool at room temperature then transfer to the fridge overnight (this step is not necessary but will result in a juicier and more flavorful brisket).

• 9

  The next day, remove from the fridge and set the temperature on the grill to 350℉. Place the brisket back on the grill to warm. When brisket is warm and the sauce has caramelized, about 45 minutes, remove from the grill.

  350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
