Beef Brisket Injection

A ton of people believe that all natural is the way to go to get perfect barbecue.  I used to be in that category until I started competing.  Then I discovered how much injections enhance the flavor, texture and overall quality of the barbecue.  This is my go-to brisket injection.  It is simple and delicious.

Beef Brisket Injection

Add 48 oz of beef broth and 24 oz of water to a sauce pan.  Bring to a boil.

Boil away

Once the liquid is boiling, remove from the heat and add 3 tablespoons of beef base and 2 tablespoons of rub.

Beef Base

Mix well and let cool.

Beef Injection

Place the mixture in a covered container and refrigerate until you are ready to use.  I split it into two containers and use half for injection and the other for a marinade later in the cooking process of the brisket.

When you are ready to inject, remove the injection from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before injecting.  Make sure to dispose of any extra injection as the needle will contaminate the injection.

  1. I've made a few home batches and lately have been trying Butcher's BBQ beef injection. I've liked that one so far. I'll give yours a try when I run out.

    1. Chevie,

      I like to inject about 2 to 3 hours before I put the meat on the smoker. Then right before I put the meat on the smoker, I pat the outer surface of the brisket dry using a paper towel. Then I rub the meat using my favorite rubs.
