Grub Rubbed and Smoked Corned Beef Brisket Recipe
This recipe turned out fabulous even though I used a corned beef brisket instead of the traditional brisket. I created a wonderful spice blend especially for grilled meats and coined it Neillio's Grub Rub. Let the brisket marinate in the rub for 1/2 day to 24 hours. I used both the grill and the oven for this recipe and feel great about it. That way I could smoke the brisket one evening and finish it off for before mealtime the next day! This method made more sense for my schedule. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family and I did. I also served this brisket with a warm Asian Slaw that worked magnificently.

December 24, 2012What an interesting variant for traditional corned beef, just by the rubs ingredient call and properties searing and smoking will add, I can taste the complimentary flavors already.
This is on the menu for new years, with polish cabbage rolls, asparagus maybe fried green tomatoes and okra? something good will pop into my head.
I compliment your imagination and resourcefulness,
Thank You.
