Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl: mix lemon juice, coffee, molasses, balsamic vinegar, salt and 1 teaspoon of espresso rub. Set aside.
  2. Rub the remaining espresso rub all sides of the brisket. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
  3. Remove meat from refrigerator and rest at room temperature, about one hour.
  4. Prepare grill for indirect medium-low heat, about 250°. Coat grates with oil.
  5. Put the brisket, fatty side up, on the grill away from the heat; cover the grill.
  6. Cook until severely browned and blackened in spots or very well done (about 170 degrees on an instant read thermometer), 4-6 hours total.
  7. Mop or drizzle the brisket with the espresso sauce on both sides, wherever the surface looks dry, every 45 minutes during the entire cooking time.
  8. After 2 hours of cooking, put the brisket in an aluminum foil pan, fatty side up; return the brisket to the grill away from direct heat. Cover the grill; continue cooking. You only need to mop the sauce on the top of the brisket once the meat is on the foil pan.
