Directions
Special equipment:
a smoker; a pressure cooker; an offset smoker; butcher paper- Prepare a smoker for cooking at 300 degrees F. If you don't have a smoker, an oven may be used.
- Rinse potato thoroughly and wrap in aluminum foil. Place in smoker and smoke for 3 hours. Roll potato on the counter to soften. Open and remove foil, then cut a slit down the center of the potato. Layer with butter, salt, pepper, cheese, sour cream, chives, Beans and Brisket and top with Jalapeno Toreado.
Beans:
- Saute bacon and onions in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown; set aside. Place the beans, chili powder, salt, pepper and 2 1/2 quarts water to a small pressure cooker. Add the cooked bacon and onions. Pressure cook according to manufacturer's specifications, 2 hours.
Brisket:
- Preheat an offset smoker to 250 degrees F.
- Trim brisket. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Cook in smoker until the meat is "floppy" and cooked to 200 degrees F all the way through, 10 to 18 hours. Wrap brisket in butcher paper and continue cooking in the smoker until the internal temperature rises above 200 degrees F, 2 to 6 hours more. Remove from smoker. Let brisket rest for 1 hour. Slice and chop the meat.
Jalapenos Toreados:
- Brown jalapenos in a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove to a bowl. Add soy sauce, lime juice and onions to a separate bowl. Toss jalapenos in marinade and refrigerate overnight.
