STEAKS!!!!!!!

[JR Magat]

What is everyone grilling for Father's Day?

I found a local farm raised butcher shop near me and picked up a 10 lb wagyu brisket to smoke this weekend. Figured go big or go home!

Also picked up some different cuts of steak that I cooked yesterday for dinner; sous vide/reverse sear (baseball & Denver cut) - both turned out great

Butts in.

Let us know how that turns out. I want your opinion on the juiciness factor.

My new sous vide (the old trusty one decided it was done responding to my bullshit button pushes) only works through an app. It's a bit of a pain **********. FWP

Why does everything need an app these days? **** that. Make buttons that work.

The remains of a 15lb packer.
I use a pit barrel cooker. End of the flat was a bit crusty and dry, but the rest is pretty damn tasty. Salt and pepper rub only.

What temp did you wrap and pull it? How long did it rest? Did you spritz it after the first 3 hours?

Wrapped at 160, pulled at 200. No spritz (in my experience with the cooker, it’s better to just leave it be). Added about 3 ounces of homemade beef stock when I wrapped it). Let it rest n a cooler wrapped in a towel for about 5 hours.

Was it prime or choice beef?

Choice. Don’t really find much of a difference with a brisket. Tried a few wagyu and prime and am just as happy with choice

 

[beargonefishing]

Choice

In my experience, anything less than prime will give you an average, dry brisket no matter what you do. Get prime next time and you won't have any of those issues.

Worth a shot. Will give it a try.

I was skeptical as well, but can attest the difference is enormous.

Prime brisket is cheaper at Costco than choice. Figure that out (I know it is because you have to buy the whole brisket when prime but our store cuts two of them up a day for smaller sizes).
