Smoked Beef Brisket- Montreal Style
At last, a smoked meat with no chemical additives! Unlike most smoked meats that have preservatives, this smoked meat does not come out pink and does not last longer than a week. We haven’t found this to be a problem- watch your leftovers disappear in a matter of days.
