HEB Wagyu Brisket $5.99

pjtexas1 · 06-16-2019, 06:53 PM

Picked up this 11 pounder with a thick flat and best marbling I've seen in person. New supplier. They will be carrying them regularly and said I could call to order a case and they would hold it for me to get first pick and put the rest out in the bins. Hopefully I can find time to fire up the shirley this weekend.

The old supplier was not great. Huge 20LB briskets with the skinniest flats I've ever seen and $7.99/LB.

Nice find Paul! All this inexpensive (relatively) Wagyu brisket is starting to worry me though. Marketing ploy is what I see considering the availability of Wagyu beef. It does look right though.

Well, it made me do some research

Grab it while you can. Ultimately they will run out and the marketing campaign will begin.

I’d go back. Have at least three

Word from the wise.

There were only 2. The other one had a skinny flat. Maybe after I cook this one I'll order more. Absolutely no space in the freezer.

That flat would make some KILLER burger!

I’m just sayin’!

Did you go back? We don’t have Costco nor HEB. I did peruse the meat bins at Sams. I’ve never seen Wagyu there. They had an entire bin of beef tongue. Started to buy a small one, but didn’t. Wagyu beef tongue. Life’s little scavenger hunts.

I’ve seen a ton of the skinny-flat issue lately. Not sure what’s up with that. Changes to how the animal is butchered? Or what?

No. Gotta cook this one first and see if their worth it. Butcher acted like they would be there regularly.

I wonder if there is just a bigger demand for it now, and the herds are starting to catch up and driving down the price a bit? I figure 10 years or so ago, some competition people started using them, then everyone in comps uses them now, plus the home/consumer market. But I agree, hopefully the proliferation of it doesnt drive down quality in order to meet demand.
