Authentic, delicious brisket recipes straight from Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q will make for a memorable cookout this 4th of July.

Not owning a smoker, I’ve always prepared my brisket in the oven. Using brisket cooking tips from Stubb’s I followed this method:

After coating with the Stubb’s Beef Rub, I seared it at about 400 degrees on our gas grill until well browned about 5 minutes per side. Then wrapped it very well with heavy duty foil and transferred it to a200-220 degree oven for about 8 hours, or until the internal temperature read 185 degrees. This was for a 7.5 pound brisket

Then I use the probe test – when a probe slides in and meets little resistance (like room temperature butter) it’s done. For this Black Bark version, there is no mopping so a nice flavorful crust forms on the brisket.

So easy you’ll feel like a BBQ pit master.

A tip from Stubb’s: Slice along the ribbon of fat that runs horizontally through the meat. Then, slice the meaty halves of the brisket against or across the grain.

Even though a brisket will feed an army, you’re sure to have left overs. And what to do with those brisket leftovers? How about adding that tender beef to a bbq sauce pizza.

Using Stubb’s Sticky Sweetfor the red sauce base, a layer of cheddar cheese, some chopped red onion, tomato, and jalapeno, sprinkle on some of that shredded brisket.

Finished with cilantro and ranch dressing, this is a delicious pizza pie. The combination of flavors here is outstanding.

Stubb’s Sticky Sweet Sauce is a thick rich sauce with brown sugar and molasses for an authentic Southern flavor. It’s perfect for dipping, infusing and of course for brisket. It was a great base for this BBQ brisket pizza and complimented the toppings perfectly.

I free-formed this pizza dough rustic style and placed it on a baking sheet that had been sprinkled with corn meal . Add the toppings and bake until the cheese is bubbly and the dough is starting to brown.
