I was looking through the Indian aisle at JJ's and noticed the ingredients in this packet labeled "Biryani Masala" looked a lot like pastrami pickling spices, so I thought I'd give it a try.

11 lb brisket after trim
1 tsp Prague Powder no 1 (0.2% by weight)
1% by weight kosher salt
Mix salts and apply to trimmed brisket
Grind 3.5 oz spice packet and apply
Foodsaver bag it and store in fridge 10 days
Rinse thorougly and dry on rack
Coat with cheap yellow mustard
Grind 5T corriander and 3T black peppercorn and apply
Smoke at 100 to 125 for 6 hrs
Foodsaver bag it and sous vide at 142°F for 40 hours

It was delicious. Give it a try!
(I'm too lazy to put it back on the grill to set the bark)

    I cook a lot of Indian food. I’ll have to try this! I’m wondering if garam masala could work with this cut?
