1. Should I Put Mustard on My Brisket?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes, if you like to slather your beef brisket with some binder, yellow mustard is the most used binder. Mustard creates a sticky wet surface on the meat, keeping the dry rub stuck and preventing moisture loss. Other types of binders aside from brisket mustard include olive oil or Worcestershire sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. What Kind of Mustard Do You Put on Brisket?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yellow mustard is the most commonly used brisket binder. Brisket mustard, like the classic yellow mustard and beef spice rub, is a good combination. You can also mix the mustard with pickle juice if you want to have a well-seasoned brisket that is tender, juicy, and has a sweet-tasting mustard flavor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to put mustard on your brisket and think it works for you, go right ahead. However, with or without it, I think they both looked great, tasted great, and cooked perfectly. Some people find considerable differences when they prepare the mustard rub well, maybe with some pickle juice or other ingredients. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
