Beef Whole Brisket - 4.75 lbs.

My husband enjoys smoking meat, and this brisket came out the best yet!

I  went out on a limb and bought this for a dinner party I had for 6 of my husbands friends. They RAVED about how amazing it was and that it was, hands down, the best brisket they had ever had! I have to agree :)

Good looking brisket but noticed it was really lean.  I injected with beef broth and let sit overnight, then smoked it for about 8 hours at 235 (31/2 hours double wrapped in foil) until the meat was 203.  I let it sit for an hour then sliced.  It looked perfect, but came out a bit dry.  I'm not sure if the problem was on the cooking end or if it needed more fat.  It still tasted pretty good, but needed some sauce due to the lack of moisture in the meat.

I am a regular customer of US Wellness Meats and enjoy so many of their products, but this one was a disappointment. Brisket fat is one of my favorite fats and is always left on this cut in my experience. We tried grilling/smoking this but it turned out pretty dry without the fat there. If you get this I’d suggest sticking with braising. I think I’ll just buy the point cut from now on, that had fat on it.
