Full Fledged Farker
I got my brisket in brine today for corned beef (St. Patrick's day staple for me, regardless of authenticity). I trimmed quite a bit of fat off this bad boy, especially since I separated the flat and point, and was able to trim off a lot of the thick layer of fat that separates the two muscles.
I weighed it and found I took off nearly 3# of fat (it was a prime packer from Costco). I figured I would take this fat and grind it with some leaner beef from the butcher and throw a bunch of hamburger in the freezer.
I usually start with Chuck to make burger, but that's already got quite a bit of fat in it, any other ideas for a leaner cut to mix with this mostly pure fat?
Thanks for any suggestions!
