I was snacking on some fairly dry smoked brisket flat slices out of the fridge yesterday and munching on some spicy picked okra at the same time.
The combo was great, I ran out of the okra but still had some of the pickled okra liquid left over so I tried dipping the brisket slices in the pickling liquid and THAT was as good a combo as the pickled okra!
I tried it again later with just the liquid from the pickled okra jar and dipped the room temp brisket slices into the liquid and I swear I think the combo is legit and worth a try.
So, I'm going to experiment with brining brisket slices in okra pickling liquid for differing periods of time and see what I get.
 
Interesting idea. Though, I'm wondering if the acid will break down the meat after awhile.
 
Haven’t tried brisket but have had pickled beef heart, and tongue would think it would be similar . Would go good with a saltine and beer
 
That sounds interesting, please share your results and thoughts.

Also, @chopsaw … Rich, I never heard of sauerbraten but sounds mighty tasty.
 
Now @Steve H and @chopsaw ….Steve and Rich… You have piqued my interest. Definitely looking into this sauerbraten.
It's pretty easy to do. We use the spice kits from either Maggi. Or Knorr's readily found on amazon. When my MIL was alive. She'd send us her secret blend from Germany. These kits are pretty much the same.

Thank you Steve… going to place an order now. I am looking forward to getting this started next weekend.

No problem. The normal process takes a few days in the brine first. But this isn't bad at all.
Though for a more tangy roast. The traditional method is better.

Ann will do this if we think about it far enough in advance. The results are delicious!

Yup! That's what we usually use. Just make sure to use just a one pound roast with it. Hopefully it'll have the sticker on it for english. I've happen some that didn't!

Thanks again Steve, really appreciate your help. I hope so too, if not… I hope you or Rich @chopsaw don’t mind me asking some questions.

Interesting Steve. Do they have a pork version also? Is it same process?
 
Not a problem. My wife is German!

Well thank you… and who better to learn from than someone that has experience due to heritage! That is just awesome!

Thanks again Steve, and tell Ann thanks from me as well!
