...of room the the world of smoked meat for everyone to have a place at the table. I'm glad you, and so many others, enjoy a well-prepared brisket. I was just exploring how that "lowly cut" of "poor man's meat" from a long time ago somehow got elevated to the pinnacle of the smoker's art. All...
It's hard for me to believe your first brisket being a flat turned out that great. It's very hard to get a flat that good especially it being your first time.
...several years now.. If I had one little complaint, When I grind up a pork butt for breakfast sausage I have to cut and make sure it is almost fat free, or it seems to get clogged with fat. When brisket is cheap, I have it separated into point/flat. Never had any issue grinding the flat for...
Well….. what to say…. Brisket is a unique cut that works for many purposes…. From ground to the smoked….to me and more importantly Mrs C it’s all about taste and texture. Brisket is her fav…. My fav beef is a A5 Filet pan seared then butter and fresh herb finished…. But I’ll get back to...
Alright....leftover brisket taco night update!
We started by making our own tortillas, because nothing beats a freash tortilla made with beef tallow. And because we try to make as much as we can ourselves to avoid the 47 un-needed chemicals and ingredients in the store bought stuff.

isnt this a thing? i have had some that could have used it. i never have cooked one myself. but if i did i think i would brine it for moisture insurance? anyone brine them? i dont read much about it.
Before Brisket, there was shoulder clod. Now you don't hear much about whole shoulder clod. Back before cold packing, cold storage, and plastic packaging, we had stock yard full of fresh cows. Cows were shipped alive by rail. Cows were bought by butcher shops and the whole cow was processed and...
Went to a local bbq joint a few weeks ago. The brisket on the sampler platter was a $3.00 upcharge. I ordered it and it was the smallest piece of meat I've seen since I was at a White Castle. Sad.
Mercer on Amazon, their bread knife, and their brisket knifes are what you will find in most deli's and professional kitchens.
And they are totally reasonable price wise. I own several of both, mainly because I bought the shorter ones thonking that they would be fine, and they really are. But...
