Carnivore Beef Brisket (Slow-Roasted or Smoked)

🧾 Ingredients:

  • 4–6 lb beef brisket (flat, point, or whole packer cut)

  • Coarse salt (Redmond Real Salt or sea salt)

  • Optional: beef tallow or suet for added moisture/fat

❗️Strict carnivore: No pepper, no spices, no sauces — just meat and salt.


🔥 Method 1: Oven-Roasted Brisket (Easy Indoor Version)

🕰 Total Time: ~6–8 hours (mostly unattended)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Brisket:

    • Pat the brisket dry.

    • Generously salt all sides.

    • Let it sit at room temp for ~30 minutes (optional but improves results).

  2. Sear for Flavor (Optional):

    • Sear brisket in a hot pan with beef tallow until browned on all sides. Optional but adds a crust.

  3. Slow Roast:

    • Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).

    • Place brisket fat-side up in a roasting pan or Dutch oven.

    • Add 1/2 cup water or beef bone broth (optional) for moisture.

    • Cover tightly with foil or a lid.

  4. Cook Low & Slow:

    • Roast for 6–8 hours, depending on thickness.

    • Internal temp should reach 200–205°F (93–96°C) for shreddable texture.

  5. Rest:

    • Let rest covered for 30–60 minutes before slicing against the grain.


🔥 Method 2: Smoked Brisket (Classic Style)

  1. Salt generously.

  2. Smoke at 225°F (107°C) over indirect heat for ~10–14 hours.

  3. Wrap in butcher paper once internal temp hits ~165°F (74°C) to retain moisture.

  4. Finish smoking until it hits 203°F (95°C) internal.

  5. Rest at least 1 hour in a cooler or wrapped in a towel before slicing.


🍽 Serving Suggestions (Carnivore Style):

  • Spoon rendered fat or tallow over slices.

  • Serve with beef bone marrow, poached eggs, or seared liver for nutrient density.

  • Save the juices to sip or use as “gravy.”
