Hey Mad, thanks for your work, I've enjoyed your videos for years. I live in Argentina and the classic grill here is "costillar" beef ribs and "vacio", a little salt in grains or "salmuera" brine (water and 10% salt, garlic, rosemary, oregano, bay leaf; everything inside a bottle and you throw it to the meat) roasted over direct heat with coal between 2-4 hours. Thanks to your videos and those of Chud's, I made my own smoker and I cook them American style too. Greetings from Argentina, Javier.
Jeremy, at the risk of affecting your standing in the brisket community, this cut of meat is what a brisket wishes it was. Unlike the brisket, it is blessed by fat on the top, bottom, and in the middle. It's like a BigMac where the bread is replaced by fat! And because we know that fat is flavor, the result speaks for itself. Thank you for expanding your horizons, both culinary and culturally, and hence expanding our horizons. You have done us all a great service by having the courage to go outside the box and show the world's food to the world. And God bless Porter Road for carving up a special order that will hopefully catch on.
@@SafeEffective-ls2pl Once you wrap, your heat source is just an oven, no matter where the heat comes from. You are not cheating by using the oven after the wrap. You are saving wood and also getting a perfectly controlled temperature for the post-wrap stage.
@commishg i dont think anybody would argue about your comparison of brisket with vacio. The reason Jeremy is cooking it they way he is cooking it is because brisket is generally a tough and dry cut that needs the low and slow cooking to reach its potential. I don't know was a bevet? is but flank and skirt steaks are delicious when simply grilled over coals so i assuem a vacio would be also. Using a BBQ method on it is probably over complicating it, but gotta do something different to make this video interesting.
For those who live in SE Florida (Broward and Miami Dade Counties), we have a large Argentinian and Uruguayan population. There are a number of meat and grocery stores that sell these cuts from cattle raised on the Pampas of both countries. They even import their preferred wood que bracho. Vacio has long been a favorite of mine, but cooking it low and slow is definitely something I would try on a future smoke.
Hey! I live in peru and I actually make that cut when we don’t have brisket available, it’s really good and cheaper here. We usually use it for grilling
Hey Jeremy, love the videos! When I watch brisket videos it seems like the rest period is often overlooked. Any chance you could do a video comparing no rest/short rest/long rest and some of the different options for commercial, or home cook resting methods?
I’m a missionary in Asunción, Paraguay. When we came here, I couldn’t find brisket, so I started smoking vacío. Everybody loved it. You can find it in every corner market, or 24 hour convenience store! Although I’ve never found one here half the size of the one you just smoked! I’m smoking one right now for a Fourth of July party tomorrow!
I don't subscribe to all the conspiracies regarding the prices of meat in general, beef in specific... But, the cost of beef has dramatically reduced how much we purchase lately and I doubt I'll ever buy a whole brisket again. Can't justify the cost. For that matter, it's like the 70's all over again. As a kid growing up, we went out for dinner maybe once a month or even two. We're back to that again.
@@keithdr_baldy5250 History says otherwise. If prices go up, politicians blame the party in power, no matter which party. If prices go down, they claim ownership even if their no longer majority.
A lot like watching a Ferrari car review. Wonderfully interesting and informative, but I know I'll probably never get to drive one. You do make it look amazing!!
Wow! whoever can get their hands on a vacío in the USA try to do it! you don't have to smoke it slow and low, the muscle is not nearly as hard as in brisket, so you can grill it at a medium temperature. That cut may take 2-3 hours (4 hrs if you take it in the lower side of temp). It's really juicy!
I Have my Porter Road vacio on the Webber Kettle with a Santa Maria attachment from Gabby’s Grills right now. Thanks for helping make this available. It looks amazing.
Totally. It only makes sense if it makes sense for you. A creekstone prime brisket of the same size is $185. The cattle Porter road does not select from the herds they use get sent to creekstone. Are meat prices too high? For sure. Then again I don’t think I’ll ever buy creekstone prime briskets for $2.99/lb again. Those were the days
I ordered a vacio from Porter Road based on this video; I cooked it the same way that Jeremy did, except I used my Recteq pellet grill, and I kept it warm for 26 hours in 145-degree sous vide. I didn't expect mine to be half as good as Jeremy's, based on how my briskets compare to his 😆, but on the contrary it looked nearly identical. VERY juicy, and VERY tender! It was a lot of fun to try, and I'm happy that I did it. I also ordered a couple of beef bellies at the same time to minimize the shipping expense, so those are coming up next . . . . Thanks for the inspiration, Jeremy!
Howdy old friend. My God that looked amazing. I haven’t had a good piece of meat since you guys moved. You truly are a captain of your industry. Congrats and continue success. Geoff
That looks insanely good! I did look it up on Porter Road and have to say the meat there looks amazing, but it ain't cheap! Smoking used to be what we did with cheap cuts, but I think those days are long gone. That said, I do take issue with what you said about brisket only being used for smoking as it has long been the traditional cut for pot roast in my family and I love a good corned beef brisket or (if I can lump the two together) pastrami or Montreal Smoked meat.
Kinda cool you’ve been doing unique cuts lately. Which kinda got me thinking, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you do beef cheeks before. They’re traditionally used in authentic barbacoa. But cooked like traditional BBQ they’re just as fantastic. I did some for the first time not too long ago. Followed a smoke and confit method that turned out absolutely fantastic. If you’re showing off different and unique meats, I’d love to see you do cheeks in one of your videos at some point.
Tapabarriga is the name in Chile and other places in southamerica. I've tried and its fantastic. There's another one that it's awesome too: Tapa de bife o Plateada. Should try.
@@insideouskraken3424 good to hear. I just have a Weber kettle right now but once I have a smoker or pellet grill I’m gonna try and celebrate by smoking one of these. Will be fun
This is the most exciting video you've produced in a while. DAMN! That cut looked phenomenal. Gonna have to talk to my local butcher getting this cut, and throwing it on the Dumpster... ....Surprised you didn't trim off that silver skin.
thnx for provideing a link for where to get it from............... 2-3 weeks for it to ship per the site. I ordered one to try as I have a Graduation party coming up so this should be great for feeding everyone.
Best steaks in the world are Vacio. And we in the USA grind it up into hamburger... Interesting about smoking it, but try it as a steak. Looks like it would be the toughest piece of meat, but it's so tender and good. I'm glad I can get it in Chicago, and is my go to steak.
Jeremy, this dang thing looks insane! Though it kills me to see you squeezing out all that juice! OK, you've convinced me I'm going to order some meat from Porter Road. My local butchers will start carrying this cut in 2-3 years... Like the Picana that was relatively impossible to purchase locally until very recently. Great vid, really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the direct grilled version "coming soon" :)
Porter Road is stupid. It's hideously expensive. Idk anyone who would be stupid enough to actual order from them. Who the hell is paying $19 for 1LB chicken breast? Costco sells Picanha and it's my wifes favorite and it was cheaper on Meat N' Bone.
Guys... brisket is THE OG smoked meat. I rarely hear it mentionned, but here in Montreal it's all about the smoked meat. That's basically the only meat we used to smome for ages and then put it in a bread with mustard and a pickle 😂
Man, you're making me crazy by squeezing the juice out of it like that. Everything I've been told NOT to do is that. I've got to get my hands on a Vacio now for sure. Thanks for this video.
I always wait for you to turn to the left after the taste. That’s how I know it’s amazing! I can’t wait to find a butcher who will do this for me. Cheers.
As an argentine I approve of this cook, but like you said, we don't smoke it. We grill it (asado) or even in the oven. Hey, if you are ever near Abilene, tx, cook one for me. I am curious about how a taste smoke instead of grill. BTW, I love your knowledge. I wish I could smoke like you. If you ever have classes, let me know.
That looks delicious. There seem to be a number of Argentinian beef cuts that are not used in the US that are delicious. This piece of meat is totally self-basting. At $215 it's a big purchase for the non-enthusiast, but it is a large cut and may be better value than brisket - I haven't done the math yet.
Congrats... I'm getting some popcorn now. Guga... Meat Church... Hey Grill Hey... they'll be in on this. But you started the avalanche. Well done. I am going to have to try this, but I am going to slap one on my santa maria as well.
I get the price but I think we could look at it as an experience in in of itself. Get yourself a few buddies, split the cost and at 14-15lbs should be enough to enjoy as a group. Definitely will try this in the summer 🔥
My guess is this will start showing up in Texas then resturants then the competition circuit. I bet it is also super exspensive and will only go up as it becomes more popular.
Fantastic video, you never mentioned a price on something like that. I have a big family and well let’s just say big bbq is right up our alley. And did you build a barbecue hut?? When did this happen? I love your videos and refer to them often. Nice work, cheers 🍻
I've been watching you ever since you first got started on youtube and stopped teaching I have learned a lot and now I can cook a brisket as well as you can and this experiment that you just did intrigues me so I ordered that cut of meat right away thank you for the information and keep it up larry
The whole point of brisket and all the effort of its cooking process is taking an otherwise almost inedibly chewy cut and make it palatable. Skirt meat is fine with just a marinade and grilling (ie carne asada). While it's true that cooking it like brisket might end up better than brisket, it's possible to make it delicious without nearly so much work.
I have an off-topic question for you, I live at high altitudes, 6,000 feet around there. I'm having trouble with the meat getting dry, I have a been doing research and people have been saying drop the temp from let's say 225 to around 200 and it'll take longer. And I have other people telling me to do it at a hotter and faster cook. What do you suggest?
Thanks for what you do and I enjoy the videos. Here in Miami you can easily find “vacio” but I don’t think it’s that big a chunk of meat, but what do I know I’m usually holding the beer and not cooking.
That is called a beef rib cap roast or a rib plate roast it is mostly used in making ground beef and you can get meat for stir fry and fajitas and you can make some old timey beef jerky just to name a few just saying 😎..
Jeremy, I love your videos, but man, you have to start researching omega 6:3 ratio. The amount of omega 6’s you’re consuming is outrageous! Take it from me, who at 57 years old had two 100# clogged arteries and a heart attack. 57! I’m 5’9 and was only 193 lbs and very active. I had a bbq restaurant and shut it down to do just catering now. Maybe check out Dr. Mark Hyman’s videos while you’re still young👍 I switched to mostly 100% grass fed beef for personal consumption and make my own ridiculous 100% grass fed beef smoked tallow that I use to cook with instead of butter 👍
Love the videos man! I've learned a lot from your videos and other channels. If I could have you opinion, I have a chargriller "smokin' champ". Thinking of using an old barrel to cut into a baffle most of the length of the cooking chamber and moving the smoke stack from the "cold" side of the chamber to the firebox side of the chamber, hoping the smoke would move in an "S" direction. Think this would be a good idea?
I have a Vacio from Porter Road headed my direction. Thank you for the link, the discount, and the video. I can't wait to try it. I do have couple questions before I smoke it. 1) You said the meat is made up of 3 muscle groups. With fat on both sides, how do you tell the direction of the grain so that you can cut it correctly after it's done? 2) Related to the 1st question, I am doubting this will fit on my inexpensive electric smoker without cutting in half. Do you have any suggestions on where to cut? 3) What's your opinion on freezing whole raw brisket? I have a choice in the freezer now, Vacio on the way, and Costco has a great sale on Prime.
I don't know if I missed it because I haven't see all of your videos. But I sous vided an eye of round last week and I think it would make an excellent bbq meat. You should test it if you haven't
Shut up, damn that looks good. 🔥 I live in Canada and I used to love winter , Christmas holidays and snow but since I started watching you Jeremy and cooking texas style bbq I can't stand winters and I can't wait till summer and warm weather. I need to move 😫 🔥🍖🥩
Ha. I look forward to WINTER to cold-smoke pork bellies, for bacon. I’m in Tennessee and only have access to an offset smoker. I try to keep the cook chamber below 40 degrees. Sometimes I have to smoke, cool in the walk-in, smoke, cool, ect.
@donscott6431 Southern states winters aren't bad. I am talking more like below 20 wind chill for five to six months a year. 🥶 I keep my offset in a garage for nearly 8 months a year. 🤷♂️

Brisket is overrated

@user-ti2hr8iy6i brisket is easy. Trim, brine, season, smoke. I put mine on and go to sleep. HEB has good brisket for the $.

Great result!.... I've been cooking vacio just like this for a couple of decades now, it's significantly cheaper than brisket here in Australia.
LOL You know the food is good when he leans to his left after the bite. Keep up the 🔥! Always great content on this channel
Dry aged Vacio is $215 for 15 lbs ($14.34 per lbs) and a brisket $119 for 9 lbs (13.22 per lbs). That's just 8% more in cost. I'm game.
Uh. Kroger fairly regularly (at least 4 times a year) runs brisket on sale for $3 - 4 a pound.
I get prime brisket for $5 a pound.
Looks phenomenal, bet it tastes amazing. For $210 bucks though I think I'll stick to the high rising cost of brisket which is still half the price.
Yeah. Definitely not knocking it but as a journeyman smoker, with a limited budget, I couldn't take the risk messing something that expensive up😅

Congrats... I'm getting some popcorn now. Guga... Meat Church... Hey Grill Hey... they'll be in on this. But you started the avalanche. Well done. I am going to have to try this, but I am going to slap one on my santa maria as well.
I get the price but I think we could look at it as an experience in in of itself. Get yourself a few buddies, split the cost and at 14-15lbs should be enough to enjoy as a group. Definitely will try this in the summer 🔥
Received my Vacio from Porter Road yesterday... Woo Hoo!!
got mine yesterday, gonna try it this weekend😊
New drinking game: take a shot every time he says there's fat on top and the bottom
Looks like the best fajitas I’ve ever seen smoked
My guess is this will start showing up in Texas then resturants then the competition circuit. I bet it is also super exspensive and will only go up as it becomes more popular.
You had me at Flank/ Skirt/ Bavette 🤯🤯🤯
This is why I love your channel!
Great video on this Vacio Cut, Jeremy! You ought to do one Asado Style for comparison!👍👍👍🤠🤠🤠
Mind blown. You're a pioneer bbqer my dude!
Nice Queen reference!
Fantastic video, you never mentioned a price on something like that. I have a big family and well let’s just say big bbq is right up our alley. And did you build a barbecue hut?? When did this happen? I love your videos and refer to them often. Nice work, cheers 🍻
It's $215 for 14.5 to 15.5 lbs or about $14/lb.
Awesome thank you. Not a bad price for that cut
I've been watching you ever since you first got started on youtube and stopped teaching I have learned a lot and now I can cook a brisket as well as you can and this experiment that you just did intrigues me so I ordered that cut of meat right away thank you for the information and keep it up larry
I think of it as more like the entire flank, which also includes the flank steak in it.
The whole point of brisket and all the effort of its cooking process is taking an otherwise almost inedibly chewy cut and make it palatable. Skirt meat is fine with just a marinade and grilling (ie carne asada). While it's true that cooking it like brisket might end up better than brisket, it's possible to make it delicious without nearly so much work.
We live in Mexico. Vacio is a great cut!
I have an off-topic question for you, I live at high altitudes, 6,000 feet around there. I'm having trouble with the meat getting dry, I have a been doing research and people have been saying drop the temp from let's say 225 to around 200 and it'll take longer. And I have other people telling me to do it at a hotter and faster cook. What do you suggest?
In all likelihood, hotter and faster and wrapping sooner will fix your problems
Finally we can eliminate the fat up or down preferences now we can do both
I thought for sure that when you did the first temp check you'd rotate it 180 degrees, or possibly put some foil on the 130 degree thin part.
Thanks for what you do and I enjoy the videos. Here in Miami you can easily find “vacio” but I don’t think it’s that big a chunk of meat, but what do I know I’m usually holding the beer and not cooking.
Call it what ever you want, it looks delicious.
That is called a beef rib cap roast or a rib plate roast it is mostly used in making ground beef and you can get meat for stir fry and fajitas and you can make some old timey beef jerky just to name a few just saying 😎..
Jeremy, I love your videos, but man, you have to start researching omega 6:3 ratio. The amount of omega 6’s you’re consuming is outrageous! Take it from me, who at 57 years old had two 100# clogged arteries and a heart attack. 57! I’m 5’9 and was only 193 lbs and very active. I had a bbq restaurant and shut it down to do just catering now. Maybe check out Dr. Mark Hyman’s videos while you’re still young👍
I switched to mostly 100% grass fed beef for personal consumption and make my own ridiculous 100% grass fed beef smoked tallow that I use to cook with instead of butter 👍
Any Recommendations for using a pellet grill to cook this meat?
Love the videos man! I've learned a lot from your videos and other channels. If I could have you opinion, I have a chargriller "smokin' champ". Thinking of using an old barrel to cut into a baffle most of the length of the cooking chamber and moving the smoke stack from the "cold" side of the chamber to the firebox side of the chamber, hoping the smoke would move in an "S" direction. Think this would be a good idea?
I just ordered one. You made it look to good so I have to try it myself.
I’ve found a local supplier here in Australia :). Looking forward to seeing your next cook where you grill it.
Can we get a brisket video with a master built electric smoker?
Argentina mentioned!
I have a Vacio from Porter Road headed my direction. Thank you for the link, the discount, and the video. I can't wait to try it. I do have couple questions before I smoke it. 1) You said the meat is made up of 3 muscle groups. With fat on both sides, how do you tell the direction of the grain so that you can cut it correctly after it's done? 2) Related to the 1st question, I am doubting this will fit on my inexpensive electric smoker without cutting in half. Do you have any suggestions on where to cut? 3) What's your opinion on freezing whole raw brisket? I have a choice in the freezer now, Vacio on the way, and Costco has a great sale on Prime.
he wraps like he's swaddling baby Jesus lol
How do you not have 1 mil subscribers yet?
Looks good 👍🏽
As an argentino, i loved the idea!
Very cool, would love to try one of these
That Vacio looks amazing! Great video.
Awesome stuff, went to Argie recently and I'm loving these vids!
Awesome! It’s a wonderful food culture
I don't know if I missed it because I haven't see all of your videos. But I sous vided an eye of round last week and I think it would make an excellent bbq meat. You should test it if you haven't
Shut up, damn that looks good. 🔥 I live in Canada and I used to love winter , Christmas holidays and snow but since I started watching you Jeremy and cooking texas style bbq I can't stand winters and I can't wait till summer and warm weather. I need to move 😫 🔥🍖🥩
Ha. I look forward to WINTER to cold-smoke pork bellies, for bacon. I’m in Tennessee and only have access to an offset smoker. I try to keep the cook chamber below 40 degrees. Sometimes I have to smoke, cool in the walk-in, smoke, cool, ect.
@donscott6431 Southern states winters aren't bad. I am talking more like below 20 wind chill for five to six months a year. 🥶 I keep my offset in a garage for nearly 8 months a year. 🤷♂️
Every butcher in the US is confused by the sudden request of a unique cut be asked about
