It was a few pros that pioneered making the cheapest cut of beef tender and delicious, now brisket has become high dollar beef, because of it's popularity.

Grandma had that tender thing down with her corned beef, nothing like the store bought and you could feed five all week on a ten. We didn't start smoking them till the late 90's and there were a good number of tough dry briskets before dad figured out what worked for him. Now it's a delicacy with the price, still like ribeye better so steaks it is when laying out the bucks for good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) My challenge is I buy a half a cow at a time from a local farmer and have my butcher cut it up and package it. Steaks and ground beef are easy, the lower quality cuts I am constantly looking for different ways to cook them. Arm roasts, for instance, can be a little stringy, so I thin cut them while partially frozen, marinate them in lemon juice, olive oil and greek spices. The lemon juice helps break down the connective tissue to make them less tough. I then put the slices on high heat on the grill to give them a bit of a crust while staying juicy. I serve then with home made Tzatiki sauce, with grilled onions and red peppers and feta cheese on pita bread. A lazy man’s beef gyro. Or I do the same, but substitute Adobo, and assorted chiles for the greek spices, substitute salsa or a homemade taco sauce for the Tzatiki, and burritos for the pita, and have Mexican bistec. What my butcher calls soup bones, I broil or grill and serve them as marrow bones with crostini, sea salt, and pepper. Beef short ribs I braise or or smoke. Chuck roasts I smoke, or slow cook with Italian spices and tomato's to make a dish very similar to Osso Bucco.

Sisco Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 No pics, sorry. My best friend retired as a fire captain last week and his wife asked if I could do a brisket. Happened to have a 14 pound monster in my freezer. Started on Thursday brining it for 24 hours in a solution of salt and pepper. Took it out Friday morning and cut off 2 and 1/2 pounds of extra fat off the cap. Made a slather of Worcestershire sauce, Montreal Steak Seasoning and Famous Dave’s Rib Rub. Hand rubbed it down and put in the fridge. I got up 2 am Saturday morning and got the smoker going with some bone maple for flavor. Monitored the heat until it was stable at 215F, then went back to bed at 4am. Woke up at 7am and checked it. Had a nice bark but was starting to dry out a trace. So at 8 pm I foil wrapped it and put it in the oven at 210F until the party at 3 pm. Wish I had taken a picture. Was the best brisket I have ever done. Moist, flavorful, and with a beautiful bark. My friend was appreciative. None left, dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Shepp is doing it better than I ever could I’m sure. Salt pepper garlic. All it will ever need. Cook it indirect til about 125 and then throw it on a hot open grill o we direct heat for 1.5-2 minutes per side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
