Hi all-
I'm looking for advice about how to do brisket for a couple of dates that span a few weeks.
We have company coming this weekend. Just a few people, but I know they'd appreciate having some brisket. It will only be 4 of us, though. We have a bigger group coming in the weekend before Christmas and staying for a week. We had planned to do brisket for this group (6).
My thought was to buy a brisket, cut it into 1/3 and 2/3 pieces, cook the 1/3 this weekend and freeze the 2/3 then defrost/cook around Christmas weekend. I did a little googling and saw some comments discouraging the cutting of a brisket. The other option is probably even worse - cooking the whole brisket and freezing the leftovers until Christmas weekend.
Any thoughts? Have people cut briskets to make them into more manageable sizes for smaller crowds?
Thanks,
Chris
