somebody shut me the fark up.
Picked up a 15 lb prime brisket last week to cook while I am off this week. I told myself I spent too much when I bought it ($3.99/lb) and KNEW I did when I went to trim it.
I bet I trimmed at least 4 lbs of fat off that thing. Very disappointed in how fatty it was. The dang thing better ROCK tonight! (Currently foiled on the WSM waiting for everyone to get home).
So what do you do with all of that fat? Well, you make beef-love (Thanks Melissaredhead!)
I threw all the trimmings in a big pot with water and let it simmer for about 4 hours. Scooped out the remaining solids and poured the liquid through a clean T-shirt. The bowl went into the fridge for a few hours and I wound up with a quart and a half of pure, white, rendered beef fat.
So I got THAT goin' for me. Which is nice.
I'll let y'all know later how the brisket turned out.
