Instructions
- Trim the brisket and apply mustard or hot sauce as a binder. Season generously with a heavy pepper rub. Refrigerate for a few hours.

- After smoking, wrap the brisket in foil or butcher paper and place it in a cooler for at least 2 hours to rest.
- Slice onions and jalapeños, then sauté them in butter with salt and pepper on a griddle until caramelized.
- Slice the rested brisket thinly against the grain, focusing on meat from the point for maximum tenderness.
