The video is a step-by-step guide on how to prepare a brisket on a barbecue grill. The host, Emilio, explains the process of preparing the brisket from scratch.
He starts by selecting a brisket that is not excessively large for his 22-inch Estevez grill. Emilio emphasizes the importance of cleaning the brisket to remove excess fat, which is not just for aesthetic purposes but also for the cooking process. He explains that not all fat is useful during cooking, and excess fat can hinder the melting process.
Emilio prepares a simple seasoning mixture of mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. He explains that the amount of salt and pepper used is not to be a main flavor, but rather an aid for seasoning. He also adds garlic powder to the seasoning mixture.
The brisket is then placed on the grill, and Emilio takes care to ensure the grill is clean and free-flowing air. He uses a briquette charcoal and maintains a temperature between 156 to 175 degrees Celsius.
Throughout the cooking process, Emilio moistens the brisket with its own fat, which has been removed and chopped up earlier. He also adds another load of charcoal every two hours and continues to cook the brisket for a total of nine hours.
At the end of the cooking process, Emilio checks the internal temperature of the brisket, which should be just over 93-95 degrees Celsius. He then rests the brisket for at least an hour or an hour and a half before serving.
The final product is a juicy, flavorful brisket that is soft and flexible. Emilio concludes that with the right preparation and patience, even a home grill can produce a great result.
