Can I take a cheap, $39 select grade brisket and make it worth a damn? In this recipe I use 4 techniques to help improve the end result of smoking a select grade brisket vs. my usual choice or prime grade brisket.

Thanks Matt, the average guy isn't going to be able to afford a ridiculously priced piece of beef! Way to keep it real!

Select brisket is for that group that's coming over and then it goes in some incredible chili right after. Whoever is designing your shirts needs a raise. I get complimented on them everywhere I go and that one you're wearing in the video is 10/10.

Of all the briskets I've made, the best one was a choice grade from Sam's club. I've opted to get less prime lately due to cost and haven't noticed enough of a difference. Good tips!

@ForTehNguyen 25 дней назад

restaurants use prime for a consistency. For the at home smoker, choice is good enough

@scorpion636 25 дней назад

Same! I always buy choice from Sam's. Best I've ever made it happened during covid it was all that was left on the shelf and I never went back to prime.

@benmilano8055 25 дней назад

As usual, a great video. Here in NY, getting a brisket that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is not an easy task. Walmart, Costco, and BJ's would be the places to go for one that is affordable. My local butcher shops do not normally carry full briskets. And if they do, you are looking at between $8-10 per pound. If I am going to pay that price, I'll buy a few from Wild Fork, which has excellent quality products and never disappoints.

Matt, could you do a video (unless you already have one I just haven’t seen) on doing a Brisket Flat. I can pick up a brisket at my sams which is a little bit of a drive for me for like $80-$100 but i have found my local grocery store will typically have what they label as a whole brisket which is actually just the Flat. As a newb to the craft I would love to get your direction/input on doing that cut.

@jeffreybaker7406 25 дней назад

@RV-ds5uf 22 дня назад

I always buy select. I never inject. Always comes out juicy and never dry. Maybe because I foil boat meat side down. I always get high compliments on my briskets. I’ve never felt the need to buy choice or prime. Thanks for the video!👍

We have used saltgrass steakhouse seasoning for years. Don't hold it against me but we live in California (for now) but lived in Texas for a bit 18 years ago. I've used holy cow on my bbq and finally put it on the boss's (beautiful wife) steak and that's all she wants now. Plus I used Texas Sugar on out twice smoked ham at Easter. I'm a fireman and wear your meat church fire department shirt with pride. It's cut larger than every other meat church shirt I've bought from you so I need to buy another one that's one size down.

@scotttucker9613 25 дней назад

Call me crazy, or maybe just call me a bad cook, but I have been consistently happier with cheaper briskets than when I splurge on $100 grass fed local butcher shop meat. I suspect a cheaper/fattier cut has more room for user error during the cook.

@MeatChurchBBQ 25 дней назад

That is good news for your wallet!

@dezal06 25 дней назад

Thats most likely because fed beef simply does not have the same amount of fat/intramuscular fat as even a cheap low grade brisket

When you’re buying an expensive brisket, buy prime and do not buy a grass fed grass finished you want your briskets to be fatty and prime or choice will have more than select.

After using your seasonings and your overnight method on a pellet grill, I've never changed. That combo just turns out a darn good brisket. I don't know how a select grade would turn out, but choice comes out pretty darn good!

@ricsbbq9999 25 дней назад

After years of being unsatisfied with select brisket Last week I cut one in half and only did the point. I ground the rest up as burger meat. It was my best brisket ever. Maybe the flat would have been good too but I think cooking the point on selects might be the way to go. (The flat was still cheaper that burger meat)

I have cooked a lot of briskets. I still say one of the best briskets I ever had was a select. I also believe anybody can turn out a great prime brisket. But It takes skill and experience to turn out a great select. Cany you elevate something with your cooking? Awesome video. I always appreciate it when professionals help nonpros save money. Thank you.

I usually buy choice grade briskets when they go on sale at my local grocery stores. I appreciate this instructional video for smoking a select-grade brisket, but finding a choice grade on sale is a better option than wet aging for 30 days (you need a big fridge for this process). I love your videos and I'm a big fan of your RU-vid channel.

@CornishCarnivore 23 дня назад

Here in the UK and Ireland all of our beef is grass fed and as a result, mostly very very lean. With lower fat cuts of brisket I’ve always tended to go higher cooking temp than lower: lower low and slow will dry it out. Also, injecting adds flavour but not really much more moisture. Adding tallow or liquid to the wrap tends to have much better results, as well as using foil rather than BP.

@russellridge8623 25 дней назад

Good Kroger choice brisket injected and smoked is real close to Goldee’s, Franklin, other overpriced ($36 lb) brisket. Not as tender but I think better BEEF flavor. And it’s still very tender. Was at Cattlack in Dallas couple of weeks ago. Probably the most gorgeous bark I’ve ever seen. Was too tender for me. Delicious but lacking beef flavor I like. Same with sirloin. Not ribeye but cooked correctly has as much or more beef flavor than most store bought meat. TIP- when rummaging through briskets especially at Walmart check all of them. About 5 years ago I was looking and found 3 Certified Angus mixed in with the select. Same price. Another time I found 5 Prime mixed in. Again same low price per lb. Scooped up those red label lovelies and into the freezer.

@adammotter 25 дней назад

If you know the history of BBQ, you know that the traditional cuts of meat used in BBQ were the cheapest, toughest, "unusable" cuts of meat. It's quite funny to see ribs, brisket, and other cuts that used to be cheap, now far more expensive than what would be considered "quality" cuts of meat back then. The BBQ Renaissance continues. Cheers!
