What are BBQ burnt ends?

Burnt ends are made of cubed smoked meat covered in sticky sweet sauce with a caramelized crust. A BBQ food staple, this recipe is usually made from brisket, pork belly or a chuck roast. These bite sized cubes are rich and tender making them the perfect BBQ entertaining food.

Step 1: How to make brisket burnt ends

To make brisket burnt ends, you need a fully cooked brisket. Check out my recipe for an easy and foolproof method. Trust me, I’ve tried many methods, and this one comes out perfect every time.

Traditional burnt ends are made from the fattiest part of the brisket which is called the point. The low and slow smoking method converts collagen and fat into gelatin, which makes the meat more tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Start by separating the point from the flat by cutting along the layer of fat that divides the two. Trim off the excess fat and cube the meat into bite size pieces. Place them into a foil pan and coat with your choice of BBQ sauce, honey and Dad’s Sweet BBQ rub. Gently mix in the sauce ingredients with the brisket cubes.

Step 2: How to make brisket burnt ends.

Preheat the grill or smoker to a low 275 degrees and set for indirect heat. Place the brisket filled foil pan on the grill and let it cook for 1-1.5 hours. Do not cover the pan. This will allow liquid to evaporate and caramelize the sauce on the burnt ends.

When done, these brisket burnt ends will be soft, sticky, melt in your mouth perfection. Let them rest and cool off and enjoy!
