Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 minsCook Time4 hrs

 1 (3 lb) Corned Beef Brisket flat, with a fat cap at least 1/4" thick
 1 (8 oz) Bottle of Traeger Apricot Barbecue Sauce
 ¼ cup Dijon-Style Mustard

1

Remove the corned beef brisket from its packaging and discard the spice packet, if any.

2

When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 275F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.

3

Put the brisket directly on the grill grate, fat side up, and cook for 2 hours.

4

Meanwhile, combine the barbecue sauce and the mustard in a medium bowl, whisking to mix.

5

Pour half of the barbecue sauce-mustard mixture in the bottom of a disposable aluminum foil pan.

6

With tongs, transfer the brisket to the pan, fat-side up. Pour the remainder of the barbecue sauce-mustard mixture over the top of the brisket, using a spatula to spread the sauce evenly. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

7

Return the brisket to the grill and continue to cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until the brisket is tender. The internal temperature should be 185 on an instant-read meat thermometer.

8

Allow the meat to rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Slice across the grain into 1/4-inch slices with a sharp knife and serve immediately. If desired, spoon some of the sauce over each serving. Enjoy!
