  • Home grown brisket

    Well home grown by someone else.

    One of the guys that works for me raises a few cattle every year for some extra cash so I went in on halfsies on a 1/4 of beef with my boss. We split everything down the middle except the brisket with the agreement that I cook it and he gets half. Nice lean hormone free beef. It's some good stuff and even smells different than store bought. Has more of a "wild" smell to it kinda like whitetail. The only thing we don't like is the steaks have been kinda tough. Even the porterhouse was tough, but the burger is some of the best I've had since we were kids and got free stuff from my Grandparents dairy farm.

    Anyway I asked the butcher if he could cut me a full packer and he said no problem. When I got it it didn't have a fat cap so I'm kind of improvising here. Also it looks like the "point" is kind of small and spread across the top of the flat. It's a good thing I've done a few briskets already or I wouldn't have had a clue how to trim this thing up. Since the steaks were so tough and this meat is so lean I'm planning on doing the Texas crutch with this one so it doesn't dry out.

    Here it is fresh out of the package. This is the top (point) side.




    And the bottom (flat) side.




    The bottom all trimmed up.



    And the top all trimmed. Best I could do with what I had and no skills as a meat cutter.




    Forgot to get pics but seasoned it with course ground kosher salt CGBP and a healthy coating of Mad Hunky JAB. Got the Webber all prepped with a snake of coals and ready to go when I get up in the morning. More pics to come tomorrow.

              Snake method works well for me. I don't own a stick burner so this is my only option. It's easy too since the only babysitting you need to do is to rotate the grate every couple hours so it doesn't get direct heat.

              Got a batch of Dutch's wicked baked beans under it now soaking up some smoke and drippings. Man I love those things and I'm not really a baked bean fan.

                  I get up at 4:30am to go to work. I figure once the weekend hits, I can sleep in. Nope. Old man yes. Sleep in no.

                              Still no pics, I always forget until after the fact. Brisket was done pretty quick and put into the cooler for a nap. I've got an older Coleman that is a TEC unit that cools or heats depending on which way you plug it in.

                              Been in the cooler since 1:30 (2 hrs) and it's still at 195 IT. Should be perfect for supper time. I'll post some sliced and plated pics when we eat.
