Saturday / Sunday cook : who needs sleep anyway edition
Today was the opening match for West Ham United's new season. I meet with the Dallas Hammers Supporters group (West Ham fans) at the same pub for most matches during the season. I've made some amazing friends in the group, and it's become a big part of my life. The first match was early for us (7:30am) and the pub wasn't going to be able to open the kitchen for us that early. It's happened before, and we usually all bring breakfast items to share if so. This time, I decided to bring brisket for everyone.
I picked up 2 briskets last week... Black Canyon Angus choice. I'd never used them before, but I'll be hunting them down from now on. Delicious flavor, very tender (check the pic), and trimmed nicely. I started cooking around 1pm , ran about 225-250 most of the cook. Thew on some ribs for dinner. I've been blending Sucklebusters SPG and 1836 Prime together on beef with some amazing results, so I went with that. Was not disappointed. Ribs came off about 6:30, could have used a bit more time but were delicious anyway. First brisket came off right as expected at 1am. Tossed in my yeti since I was holding for so long. The second brisket... We weren't friends. It decided to wait until 2:45 to come off. So it was after 3:30 when I got in bed. My alarm went off at 5:30 to go to the match. Anyway, there were 50 people at the match, and I'd guess 40+ ate. Cleaned out both briskets. They were so good. Very pleased with the results, and had a very happy crowd. Managed to score a few paid cooks from today as well. sorry for rambling, I'm pretty tired, hope you enjoy the pics. https://i.imgur.com/TA98LWsl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Geznozxl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/d7wp3b2l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fnPfAryl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uHlV5tfl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FiR6ZMbl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LFfA13El.jpg |
That is one mighty fine cook.

Bam!

Now that is some textured brisket right thurr! I can't stand a clean looking brisket. That usually means their rub was ground too fine to produce a texture.

I've cooked a good bit of those black canyon angus briskets and agree on the flavor and moisture - they're very good for "just" choice. I get a little better yield with them compared to Costco prime briskets because they seem to require less trimming to get em how I like em.

Killer! Brisket bark looks insane.
|
That's a brisket! I have had good results with angus too.

Brisket looks really good! :-D

Dang that brisket looks fantastic!
|
That is righteous!
|
The bones look righteous, but the brisket is out of the park! The bark is perfect.
Awesome cook! :thumb: Sleep is often over-rated when there's good eating on the line. :-D |
Where would I get said briskets.

That's where I will pump the brakes... did they charge you $11.99 a pound or something ridiculous? I remember seeing baby backs for $5.99/lb. It wasn't Heritage hog or anything special... just "organic" and "GMO free" lol. |

And they were reasonable. 2.29 a pound I think? And then there were having a 25% off sale. Got both for $44 total. |
