Smoked Brisket Skewers under the Stars
How to Cook Smoked Brisket Skewers under the Stars:
- Start by soaking your skewers in water for 20 minutes if they’re of the wooden variety.
- In a bowl, whip up your Cowboy’s Midnight Marinade, combining all the ingredients and stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Bathe the Brisket pieces in a quarter of your marinade, letting them soak up the flavors overnight.
- Fire up the grill, aiming for a high heat to get those perfect grill marks.
- Skewer up your ingredients, alternating between the marinated Brisket, onion chunks, and mushrooms.
- Lay the skewers on the grill, giving them a good turn now and then, and letting them sizzle and char for 5 to 15 minutes, or until they’re cooked just the way you like.
- As they grill, baste the skewers with the leftover Cowboy’s Midnight Marinade for an extra layer of flavor and caramelization.
- Once they’re ready, hit them with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a handful of sliced scallions for garnish.
- Serve them straight off the grill, and you’ve got yourself a cowboy feast under the stars. Enjoy!
