Texas Brisket Mop Sauce

Texas

thin, savory, slightly acidic — a basting tool, not a serving sauce

When to apply

every 45-60 minutes during the unwrapped phase of long cooks

Ingredients & recipe

Beef Broth240 ml
Apple Cider Vinegar120 ml
Worcestershire Sauce60 ml
Melted Butter2 tbsp
Garlic Powder1 tsp
Black Pepper0.5 tsp
Hot Sauce1 tsp

ml = milliliters / millilitri · tbsp = tablespoon / cucchiaio · tsp = teaspoon / cucchiaino

Preparation

  1. Combine beef broth, vinegar, Worcestershire and melted butter in a saucepan.
  2. Add garlic powder, pepper and hot sauce.
  3. Heat over low — do not boil.
  4. Keep warm beside the smoker throughout cooking.
  5. Apply with a pastry brush or mop every 45-60 min during the unwrapped phase.
  6. Stop mopping once the brisket is wrapped.

Notes

Not a serving sauce. Keeps the surface of the meat moist during long unwrapped phases. Use warm — cold mop drops pit temperature unnecessarily. Stop using once the meat is wrapped.
