Title: Mini Brisket
Post by: TentHunteR on February 14, 2014, 08:53:03 PM
Last week we stopped at the butcher and he had a small 5 1/5 lb whole packer brisket (yes it was a whole brisket, not just the flat).

Coated with with some brown mustard then an ample amount of M3 rub. Put on the MAK at 225° with Black Walnut pellets.

When the I.T. reached about 165° we put it in a baking dish and smothered with sliced onions and put in about 1/2 bottle of Killian's Red.
Covered tightly with foil and back into the smoker at 300° to braise for about 1 1/2 hours.

Because it was small I just sliced the whole thing.

Chopped up some of the point and made myself a brisket sandwich just the way I like with some homemade BBQ sauce, some slaw and a little hot sauce. The onions & pan juices make some killer au jus for mashed taters. The wife made some Corn pudding to go with it too.

I don't have a brisket, but in did find a small tri-tip in my freezer. I brought it with me to Tee's yesterday. We may be cooking it as a trinket tonight for dinner. Will post more later.

I was told it was a younger, smaller cow. It's the second time I've gotten one that size at this butcher.  When I first saw this one I thought it was a flat only, then the butcher's wife turned it around so I could see it was indeed a whole brisket, just small. 

As you can imagine, being from a young cow they're a bit more tender than a normal brisket.  I'll have to see if I can snag one when we come down to the Fall Gathering this year.

Maybe a small 5 1/5 lb whole packer brisket would be called Veal Brisket.   ;D
