Beef Brisket

[Pitdog]

I got a big brisket out of one of the steers we worked up in the spring, but don't know a thing about fixing one. Ideas? Experience?

Pitdog have you thought about making corned beef with it? It is along the lines of salt curing pork with some seasonings added in. And its done in a crock or similar container.


Have a great day!

Got a smoker?? It'll take around 8 to 12 hours to smoke depending on size. Put a little rub on it and smoke it is my vote. The brisket is done when it gets to a temp between 180 and 205.....if you've got a temp reader.

Actually....upon further reflection....brisket is really just horrible meat.....just put it on dry ice and send it to me for proper disposal!! :D

My family likes brisket better than prime rib.

I put it in an electric frying pan with a lid on it and cook on low heat for 2-3 days. Serve with horseradish, pickles, relishes etc. Potatoes and beans go well with it and any cooked vegetable and/or salad.

When we butcher there is competing sugestions for what occassion(s) the brisket will be saved for.

I ground up some brisket, that was given to me, into hamburger meat.. I used it many ways and it was all good!

Interesting suggestions. I am working on building something up to smoke hams and bacon out of my pig collection, so a smoker is not out of the question at all. I'm still researching. Got some fillet mingon too, got to figure out how to properly prepare it as not to waste it. I have never eaten it before, never been able to afford it!
