I did my first brisket & thought it turned out great, however the point in some places shredded easily but the parts inward seemed a little tougher. It has been a couple days now and all the flat is gone. What can I do with the rest of the point? I cubed it and still have lots of au jus left I can do something with.

Should I nuke it? Resmoke it in rub & au jus or BBQ sauce? I saw a youtube video where a guy just puts it in a food processor after cubing it into chunks and makes shredded beef for BBQ sammies. Maybe I can add taco seasoning and make tacos or enchiladas, or beef filled egg rolls like I q-viewed with pulled pork last year?

Any suggestions? I still have about a full quart zip lock bag left.

Thanks.
 
Simmer in your aujus and shred it for sammies or tacos, or whatever.
 
Put the cubed point in a foil pan hit it w/ some more rub and back into the smoker for burnt ends. Or add sweet bbq sauce after the rub and back into the smoker for what i like to call meat candy.
 
Wow, so many good ideas. Maybe I better look to buy another brisket? hahaha!

Maybe I will try the burnt ends and if that don't work to my liking throw it in the food processor?

Or maybe I can put it with au jus in the crockpot for a few hours and eat it during the draft? Or add some diced tomatoes and some homemade canned chili w/meat to the crockpot...

I better order Pizza Hut until I debate all these great ideas a little longer!
 
If you have a slicer, just slice it thin and use some of that juice to make French dipped sammies..
