In this brisket point recipe I am going to show you how I make burnt ends with a bit of a sweet taste and a spicy kick. The brisket point is the best cut to make burnt ends because it gives you the most tender bite from the entire brisket.
In this brisket point recipe I simply seasoned and smoked my brisket point just like I would with any brisket, kosher salt, black pepper and your favorite beef rub. Smoke the brisket point until you reach 165 internally then give it a wrap in butcher paper and put it back on the smoker until its probe tender. As I let the brisket point rest, for a minimum of 1 hour, I made a sweet and spicy glaze and put it in the fridge.
Once your brisket point has had time to rest, it’s time to make the burnt ends. Simply slice your brisket point up into about 1 inch by inch bites then add your glaze and get a nice coating on your burnt ends. Throw your burnt ends back on the smoke for 15 minutes to allow your glaze to stick to your burnt ends and then all you have to do is eat!
