Fort Griffin Brisket Rub
As any ‘smoker’ of brisket realizes the way to prepare this cut of beef is low and slow. In the past, many a cut of beef from the longhorn herd or the hearty bison of the region has been tenderized by seasonings and applied heat at just the right temperature and timing. Even the toughest piece of meat can be made delicious. This boneless cut of meat comes from one of the least tender parts of the steer, the breast, where the muscles come together to provide power for the legs of this sturdy beast and support a large portion of the weight. It's one of the least tender cuts of beef, but braised, smoked, or slowly roasted, it's rendered soft and satisfying with incredible flavor. Add the flavor of the Fort Griffin Brisket Rub from Ghost Town Products, and the result is a tasty, melt-in-your-mouth, delicacy.
We have named this brisket rub in honor of the Texas historical herd that grazes the plains surrounding Fort Griffin and the historical significance of the Fort and its long history of providing shelter for tough pioneers who traveled along the trail or who settled this area, warring Comanches and military skirmishes between the Northern and Southern Armies and battles between outlaws and the sheriffs and marshals of the Earp family and their friend and ally Doc Holiday.
