Corned beef packer

[idahopz]

Nothing special, but a tasty treat for me and the missus. A friend in food service stopped by the other day with a corned beef brisket, and of course, I immediately prepared it for smoking. Separating the point fronm the flat, the meat was smoked at around 250F for 2 hours using mesquite pellets, then finished in the house oven, foiled with 2 cups of beef broth to around 205F I.T.. I cut up the point into 1 cm cubes and fried them in the rendered fat from the trimmings. Sure is a tasty.

That is pretty cool Pete!
I've never seen a whole packer turned into corned beef.
I't always just the point or just the flat!

I know what you mean, Al - at the regular grocery stores I too only see the point or flat (small ones at that). These days I normally shop at Cash and Carry for most of my meats, and they always have big packages - I usually purchase the St. Helens brand of corned beef packers, and they are typically less than $3/lb on sale.

Thanks for the like!
