One of the best foods that I prefer to eat is smoked Brisket recipe. Most of my relatives and friends say that beef its better smoked since it absorbs more of the smoke that it’s inside the smoker. Although brisket takes longer to cook in a smoker it is worth the effort and the waiting. Here is a recipe I cooked a few days ago, I liked really liked it very much, and it was really tasty.

Originally this recipe was without pineapple; however I thought that it would be a great idea to smoke the brisket with pineapple. Using pineapples when you cook beef it is a very good idea. For one thing, pineapple makes the beef to be soft and tender and for another thing, it is a great combination.
What I like about this smoked Brisket recipe is the fact that you can complement it with almost anything you want. For example, once the brisket comes out from the smoker you can top with sliced onions in order to look better. Also, you can accompany your brisket with a great variety of side dishes. A great idea will be to roast some white potatoes or some sweet potatoes. Or you can pick another starch. Some people like to accompany beef with white rice. You can also accompany your brisket with lentils, quinoa or carrots. Since this recipe has already a fruit, the best thing will be to accompany the brisket with a salad that does not contain fruits. You do not need to make a complex salad since the main dish is the smoked brisket. It would be good enough to sauté some green peas, zucchinis and eggplants and to mix them in a bowl.
