I used salt, pepper, and Lawry's on my last brisket. Same order of application (pepper, salt, Lawry's) as the video. Man, it was outstanding. I'll be doing this again.
Thank you. Thank you. I cant understate how appreciative I am of guys like Aaron F. and you willing to share your experience (secrets) with the rest of us aspiring cooks.
Wow great lesson. I have not heard a lesson like this before and I have watched so many videos from many competition cookers and have not learned anything like this. Thanks very much for this video. I am a new subscriber.
I have watched a crazy amount of seasoning and trimming brisket videos. You shared multiple tips that I haven’t seen in all the videos I’ve watched elseware . Awesome stuff. Subscribed.
Exactly. I feel like these are genuine tips of the trade. Really valuable information - and that's not limited to this one video. I have watched I reckon hundreds or even thousands of hours of people cooking bbq and this guy might be the best. Harry Soo has great passion and know how - this guy has feel, experience and ability. Splitting hairs between them.
I like your videos because you are straightforward. There is no secret to great bbq. It just takes time and paying attention to the fluctuations of temperature while cooking. I know you were joking about being the first to use Lawry's since it has been used for 40 years that I know of. We used it on all our briskets in 1978 at Houston Rodeo cookoff. It is the most common spice used in Texas bbq. Salt and pepper only is a myth that it is the original Central Texas rub. Maybe, Lawry's Seasoned (salt) and pepper is what they refer to. The only real no no in Texas bbq is the use of sweet sauce. It doesn't belong on beef unless you are in Kansas City.
Amazing Recipe just made it again for my fathers party and it was an amazing hit! Thank you for allowing a guy from Cali to experience true texas bbq! When i come to texas i will definiately go out of my way to visit this restaurant and barbs-b-q as well!
I've used a mix of Worcester sauce & mustard slather on pork ribs r Worcester by itself ; but never tried mustard & pickle juice on brisket... I typically jus use Worcester sauce.. I'm goin to giv ur brisket slather a try
Have to agree on the tallow, plus following another vid (probably sponsored) the tallow turned the bark into a gunmy mess during the rest. Stuck to butcher paper and pulled bark off. Delicious bark on the paper though, for the chef 😉
Hey Jirby, another great video. Your video has helped my take my BBQ skills to the next level. I do have a question, i hear a-lot about the 16 mesh pepper but can never find pepper that say it is 16 mesh. I buy course grind, butcher grind or resturant grind but i can never find 16 mesh grind. Can you elaborate more on it.
@@robertburnett1970 Yeah it's weird that he just keeps calling it Lawry's like they only make one product. Lawry's is a flavoring brand owned by McCormick and they make a ton of different shaker seasonings. I think they're certainly most well known for their seasoning salt they put on their prime rib at their restaurant but if he's just putting down a small base of black pepper followed by two types of salt that seems a bit much. He's certainly the expert, not me and I'm not saying he's wrong but..that's a lot of salt.
Thank you for this video, have you ever smoked your tallow and added seasoning to it before you applied it to the meat side during wrap? Was just wondering if that might help blandness effect of tallow on the brisket?
A couple of things seem to have changed since this. #1 being the tallow. I saw that it was added at the end of the cook to the foil wrap for the rest stage. ( Brisket cook to completion unwrapped).
For a backyard brisket cook, would you trim a whole lot off the brisket knowing that you need enough brisket to go around for the family when it's done?
Question - I've never been to Goldees but I've loved Lawrys since I was a little kid. Does using salt and then Lawrys make it "too" salty? Can brisket handle all the salt and would it be better to dial back the salt or Lawrys on ribs? Or would pepper and lawrys only work best for ribs? I do baby backs more often so they are a leaner rib. Thoughts? You the man Jirby!
Jirby, when doing your Foil test method on the briskets, do I need to let the brisket drop to a specific internal temp before putting it into the foil ?
I've tried many other bbq'rs rub combos even one pro had like 23 ingredients in his. Honestly they all kind of tasted the same in the end. I got so tired of rubs that I started smoking my brisket all natural, not a single flavor, no spritz, nothing. Literally just beef. Came out Amazing every single time. You should try it. Funny thing is even though this is an old video now. Tonight i decided to just do light pepper, then light kosher salt, then light Lawrys in that order. We will see how it turns out tomorrow night.
I did this jub last weekend and used dill pickle juice/mustard/Worcestershire as the jinder. Also not wrapping during the stall was a good tip. The bark on the brisket turned out to be the tits 🤙thanks bro
The tallow craze is a bit of a misunderstanding. It's the same in Sous Vide. You never add any fats or oils to the sous vide vacuum bag with Beef or it washes the Beef flavor out. I think the same thing happens if you wrap your Brisket in tallow.
Which lawrys you use? Would that be the normal one ? I’ve heard the turmeric on it gives different taste I could be wrong :)!! But want to try this just making sure on the lawrys or seasoned salt you used
hey Jirby, i appreciate the content my dude. i have a cheap ass smoker and the fire goes out constantly throughout the smoking process. would the fire going out affect the bark forming properly? or am i not using enough pepper?
Is there another binder that works just as well as the mustard part of the mustard/pickle juice? i have a family member that has a mild allergy to mustard. i would think using a basic olive oil or avocado oil would work just fine but wanted to get your thoughts on binders.
Hey ya´ll... I need some help here. I'm from Germany and I can't figure out what lawrys is... I googled it and it seems to be a brand?!? But what is Jirby using here? Or what would be a good substitute? It seems this is not available in Germany... thx Martin
Appreciate the video - Quick Question. You mention Lawrys of course, but I know they have a ton. Are you talking the standard seasoning salt or something else that is Salt Free? Thanks Jirby!
Do you ever string twine your brisket? For even cooking? I do this for pork loin but I hardly even see this for brisket smokers. Thanks! Love your content
Definitely wanting to use all of these tips with the slather and the seasoning on my next brisket. Almost makes me want to throw one on this weekend. Now with the slather how much pickle juice do you use with the mustard just enough to thin it out. Got another bbq channel that's must see
Hey Jirby, love the videos man. Would you mind sharing the differences in Diamond Krystal and Morton kosher salt? I've heard many different things about who uses what, etc but can't figure out what I want to use or why I want to use it.
Zach, Morton has an additive, and if you look up the ingredient, you prolly won't use Morton anymore. Diamond Crystal has no additive, but is a finer grain.
@@David-burrito can you please post your degree .... since there is nothing in Morton that would keep anyone from using it but an anti caking agent just like thousands of other products I bet you also say MSG is bad as well
Can you recommend a substitute for the Lawry seasoning that can provide similar flavor? I have family members that are highly allergic (hives) with the Lawry seasoning. Not sure of the ingredient that they are allergic too, it is bad news with Lawry's seasoning. Thanks!
Thanks for spreading knowledge much appreciated! Just for clarification…are you using Lawry’s Seasoning salt? If so regular or low sodium for brisket? Thanks again!
@@davo912 Tbf this Lawry's Seasoning Salt is more bright yellow than the dark red Lawry's seasoning in the stores, so he might be holding out some secrets too
Hi Jirby, thanks for the great vids. I have a Question for you.... You were rather detailed at the beginning of this video when talking about ratios.... 2 parts pepper, 1 part kosher salt, 1 part Lawry's (btw, is that by volume, or weight?). BUT, when you actually apply the rub on the (2nd) brisket, in the video you actually say: "Same amount of kosher salt as the pepper." Can you clarify this?
On the second brisket I did them all separate. So when you do the pepper first do the same amount of salt next (eye balling it) then a nice even layer of Lawrys and you should be good!
@@jirbybbq Ok cool, thanks for the detailed explanation. So the 2:1:1 ratio thing is only if you're making a convenient combo mix, and if you're doing it separately, make things a bit more equal, it sounds like.
Johnny, I just saw a rerun of food paradise. There was a guy who looked like you, talked like you and wore a tie dye t- shirt. Could that be you? I think it was in Colorado across from a college.
Morton’s coarse kosher? Having a hell of time finding regular Morton’s kosher. I’ll be doing some spare ribs this weekend and using the method in your video. Thanks for making these!
Why didnt you put no lawrys on the meat side. In the video you only put it on the fat side and im wondering if there is a reason for it. Also i love your guys content and will defiantly come out to texas to try this place.

@@HeyNikP I dunno. If you watch the video it has the green square on it. That's reduced sodium. I tried both. I thought regular was too salty and Reduced was better. To each their own.
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP A week ago he replied to a comment in this comment section that said Regular. Here's a screenshot: i.postimg.cc/9QZXDJKc/lawrys.jpg Also, if you watch the video, there is no green square on it, as it's not even a Lawry's bottle.

Lawrys has been in use for years.

hey Jirby, i appreciate the content my dude. i have a cheap ass smoker and the fire goes out constantly throughout the smoking process. would the fire going out affect the bark forming properly? or am i not using enough pepper?
I was just curious about how much pepper salt and lawrys you use when you season with the pepper and salt separately, not mixed together?

Thanks! Appreciate that!
Just curious, did intentionally season the meat side lighter than the fat cap side?
