I cooked Walmart briskets for years when that was all I had access to. I even did dozens upon dozens of just the little flats they sell. With some practice and patience, you can make decent briskets out of them. Having said that, once we got a Costco and I started buying the prime briskets, I don't know that I could ever be happy with the Walmart briskets again. I 100% believe that those cheap briskets really helped me learn how to cook a great brisket though.

I've actually done several of these. Most of my "test" briskets came from Walmart because they were much cheaper & I'd waste less money. The first time I tried a "prime" brisket, I was shocked at the difference in quality. Most times now though, if I want to get a Walmart/choice brisket closer to the taste/quality of a "prime" I just inject it with tallow and wrap it in butcher paper with more tallow and it comes out pretty well. It's funny. Ever since I've started cooking briskets, I can't help but stop by the meat section and see what's there.

Love that ZZ-Top riff intro! I've been wanting to do a Walmart / Costco side-by-side for a long time. I have done both in the past, but not at the same time and had varied results. The main thing I look for with the cheap choice briskets it the thickness of the flat. Some are too thin and dry out. The point on the Costco prime briskets often have have too much fat for my taste, like 40-50%.

@nicholasmiller3128 2 года назад

I have cooked about 6 or 7 of these Walmart briskets and I told myself, when I can start making these taste good, I'll start buying the Prime stuff. I am happy to say the Walmart ones have always at least been tasty and I have helped in perfecting my smoking skills as I am really still new at this. However, with that practice I am happy to say, I am ready for a Prime one now and feel comfortable with trimming it, smoking and judging its stages of cook. I think outside of buy what you can afford, you should buy the cheap stuff to practice with as it still will taste good and you won't mess up that piece of expensive meat when your ready to go that route.

@Topp_Jimmy 2 года назад

Another stellar video! Thanks! I just hope folks understand this comparison was less about CostCo vs WalMart and more about USDA Prime vs USDA Choice Grades or more marbled vs less marbled. A USDA Choice Brisket from CostCo (or anywhere else) would likely struggle to compare favorably with USDA Prime. I've found A LOT of BBQ Enthusiasts don't know enough about Beef Grading and its implications.

Great video.I do the exact same thing every time I'm at Costco. I can't help myself. When I first started smoking briskets I would do one every month to get as much practice in as possible. I went from prime to choice to select. I felt like I was getting good at it when I could make a select taste pretty good. It was definitely doable with the cheap Walmart select briskets but I found I needed to inject those because without much intramuscular fat they just didn't have the same flavor as the higher grades of meat.

I know walmart carries split flats and points and I think I've seen the same offering at my local costco. I'm curious if smoking just a flat or just a point alone is a vastly different process from smoking a whole brisket or if most of the cook stays the same?

@johnroberson1986 2 года назад

Awesome video. I would love an analysis on which meats you should “Pony Up” for. Buying prime brisket vs choice or select yields better results for sure. What about pork ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, turkey, pork belly, etc. For instance, I have tried expensive pork ribs vs Hormel (the one soaked in salt solution)and I can’t tell a huge difference. I for sure would rather cook meat that hasn’t been soaked in a solution, but wonder how big of a difference it really makes.

@BennyTheButcher2 2 года назад

When choosing beef always remember two rules: the brand specs will determine quality and the packer trim specs will determine yield. USDA grades (prime/choice/select) only deal with two carcass specifications - maturity and marbling score. Any branded program will require further quality specs (yield grade, carcass size, younger maturity, etc). The tighter these additional specifications, the better and more consistent the product. For product yield, look for a preferred packer. They set the trim specs for theit brisket subprimals. In my experience Tyson, National, and Creekstone are industry standards. To know which packer processed your brisket, cross-reference the EST. Number on the overwrap or box. This information is available via the USDA website. And, as Jeremy so eloquently put it: you get what you pay for. Always. Always. Always. Retailers will always be able to market a lesser quality product to the consumer, because there is already a glossary of marketing gibberish to pull from. Learn how to read a label. Ask your meat department the pack dates. Be educated. And cook excellent beef!

@@cfox109 I've tested it two times from Walmart briskets using paper wrap. The first one I did a long rest like everybody recommends and after it was finished the meat was all soft and jiggly but after resting for 8 hours it toughened up. The second select brisket I followed some of the RU-vidrs advice and only rested for 1 hour and it was about 80% as juicy as a perfectly cooked prime brisket from Costco. Both the select briskets had similar marbling and I am comparing the feel of the brisket before the rest and after. There's a couple of RU-vidrs including the Italian guy who works for a famous Austin restaurant who did this exact test. The reasoning behind it in a scientific point is that since there is no marbling the juices cannot reabsorb which means that the longer you rest it and the more juice comes out of it the dryer it gets.

I’ve bought “prime” briskets Costco with very little marbling. And a few with a ton of marbling as this one you tested. They seem to be pretty inconsistent.

It’s literally luck of the draw unless you use a supplier that can deliver a consistent product.

This is a valuable comparison. It shows that it is worth paying more for a prime grade brisket. However, the mystery of Snow's BBQ remains as they are known to obtain great resilts with select grade briskets. My theory is that the quality of their beef is better than the Walmart commodity choice briskets. They also don't give long rest time. From my experience, when there is not enough inner fat, long rest time makes the brisket feel dry. A choice brisket with visibly high marbling (In the meat industry, it is called upper 2/3 choice) I would give a long rest. Otherwise I would serve it without resting time. However, I had not done A B comparison.

I've even seen choice chuck roast at the same price per pound or even more than costco's brisket.

Bought a packer brisket the other day at HEB (Texas grocery store) for 35$, I must say, probably the best brisket I’ve ever made Jeremy would be proud! I rubbed it with mustard also took Jeremy’s advice didn’t have beef tallow so I put the trimmed fat in a small pan and WOW!!

I really, really appreciate your head's up on science. Science does not start with an answer. Science does not pretend to know. Science observes, then attempts to explain what it observes. If it does not know, it says so, and continues to look. Continue to be scientific.

In Canada, the choice brisket is only as good as the select from USA and it gets worse if your comparing to beef from Oklahoma or Texas. Zero marbling on the flat. The last one I did, I injected it with beef tallow that I made from the trimmings and I can say it turned out way better than I ever would have thought. I have to leave a generous fat cap on the flat and render it, but normally I try to serve the flat before I serve the point because everybody would just want point only after, but not this time. It was also the first time I rested the brisket for a pretty long time.

Thank you for all the hard work you do! I was living in Simi when you used to live in Socal. We left the state around the same time. I would love to see a video where you cut a brisket into quarters, cook one and freeze the rest then cooking the frozen ones once a week. I just wonder how many people's families can't eat a cooked 15lb brisket before it goes bad.

@jeffk8019 2 года назад

Hey David. If you have a vacuum sealer it's probably easier to smoke/cook the whole brisket and vacuum seal portions and freeze them. When you and the family want brisket, defrost a portion in cold water and then heat inside the bag in hot water on the stove. Turns out great, and even sometimes seems to taste better than when first cooked. I do this all the time and it works great.

I just smoked a cheap chuck roast from my local grocery store the other day. I followed a recipe from TikTok and got really good results. It was fairly lean and came out delicious. Maybe you can speak to making lower grade meat taste great.

@abejoker 2 года назад

Max from Texicana BBQ did the experiment. Choice briskets benefit from H&F and very little rest because they have less fat and connective tissue to hold the structure.

i remember walmart briskets costing like $1.96 a pound before covid. right after i left working there it jumped up to $4. most wasn't really bad, but we get people coming in asking for the finest cuts and i was like lady, we don't cut anything here it comes pre packaged, plus its walmart, we don't do fancy, just cheap. anyways, for a while we sold it at $2 a pound and was considered to be sold at a loss, as the primary goal was to get the customers to buy things related to briskets. coals, spices, maybe aluminum foil, drinks, etc. we lose money on the brisket, but money on everything else that would go with a brisket and because of that for a while we would have entire pallets of the stuff sitting in the back room. now though, with shipping issues, and costs having gone up, they stopped selling the brisket at loss as its too much to do so now.

Okay, it's 6:36 am in California and I can go for some Brisket and eggs. Really good vid and helps explain why quality of meat does count in most cases....I had a question for Jeremy though or anyone who might be able to help me with a Brisket issue I encountered twice now. Two times in a row it was so difficult to pull my brisket out of the smoker due to losing all the juices. I was getting burned because I had over leakage from my rapped brisket. I use the standard meat paper and wonder if I'm not wrapping tight enough.

@MrSmileyFella2 2 года назад

A recommendation: Maybe next video you could explain a little bit about what bark is. What makes it dark and how spices could affect that. Ive always wondered about that and never heard anyone talk about it

Drive by the feedlots west of Amarillo Texas a couple of times and you’ll only buy grass fed and grass finished beef. If you can even stand to eat meat at all.

I cook a brisket two ways. I cook it 325 fast for pull apart for great stuffed potatoes and low and slow for sliced. I use Kroger 40-60 buck briskets. Some come out good and others not so good. I think that the "labeled" means good all the time but I think the same "labeled" cuts make it in to the cheap bin as well.

@MetalDetectingwithRandy1 11 месяцев назад

@josephtilitsky1268 2 года назад

I think a way to isolate your fat cap questions from earlier would be to compare cooking one with a thick vs thin fat cap and only serving interior portions of the meat in a blind test. That'll control for the presence (or absence) of rendered fat cap in the taste test.

Smoking/Bbq has kinda been known for using the cheaper meats... Technique is the most important thing.. no matter if it's an offset or open fire pit.. or any other process even electric haha Nice job on the cook as always. I bet the cheap one was still better than most bbq places..

@Cptnmorgan226 2 года назад

In my neck of the woods Costco and Walmart has the same meat cutter for their beef. If you are selecting the same grade it’s the same quality. But since you are comparing prime versus choice it’s doesn’t matter where you purchased them.

@MadScientistBBQ 2 года назад

Haha that’s so funny! I know I have cooked briskets from Sam’s before that turned out great! This one from Walmart just happened to be crazy lean
