Brisket problem

[GAnewbie]

As I posted previously I got a great price on a brisket, got the smallest one they had thinking a good bit would get trimmed off. Didn't seem to need much, and now I am going to have a lot brisket.

What are your favorite recipes for leftover brisket?

Chili is a good idea. I also think I will do some burnt ends if anyone has a favorite twist on that I'm all ears.

I can't help you, never had that problem LOL

Freeze some to put in your smoked Mac and cheese next time, burnt ends, tacos, brisket dip sandwiches.

Burnt ends or chili. I can eat chili everyday though lol

First brisket ever. It was good, but I may have overcooked it. Not sure what the signs of that are, but the flat seemed dried out.

That's the first sign, use temp as a guidance but trust in the tooth pick to let you know when your done cooking. When you get too about 195 push a tooth pick into it you'll feel the meat and fibers as it cooks more that resistance gets less, its done when it feels like your pushing the tooth pick into room temp butter, It should still be moist at that time. If you trimmed off too much fat from the flat it can dry out before the point cooks all the way to tender. I try and leave a thicker layer on the flat compared to the point end. Say a half inch compared to a 1/4 on the point. Looks great tho nice bark

. Looks great tho nice bark

Thank you for the tips. I almost pulled it an hour earlier, and wished I had, but it had good flavor, and I'm not too disappointed as a first attempt.

OP, is your brisket dry and chewy or dry and crumbly? Dry and chewy is undercooked and dry and crumbly is overcooked.

Seemed more crumbly to me. I couldn't think of the word to describe until I read your post. In the future I will start probing it earlier and trust temp and tenderness. I think I allowed myself to be fooled because it just didn't seem to have been on long enough to be done.

If its not yet to temp you can pull it wrap it and put it into a dry ice chest with a blanket. it will continue to cook without adding more heat to the brisket. i have used this trick to hold brisket for several hours.

One of my favorites is grill or fry some brisket slices with onion, sliced, green peppers, mushrooms (all grilled). Add cheese on a small pile of hot brisket to melt then add to two slices of butter grilled bread. Then horse radish or mayo. makes a GREAT sandwich. That's what I had for lunch today. Sort of a brisket cheese sandwich instead of a philly cheese steak sandwich. Hard to beat anytime. delish!!
