      honestly that would just straight up not work. Making something just to test and then let it go to waste is disrespectful to the food. Atleast he tried something that produced an edible result at the end, so props to him for that. I agree its cheating but cooking a normal brisket that way would be so bad he doesn’t need to try it to know.

    I regularly separate the point and flat, glad to see others doing it pre-cook. For us, it came out of necessity as a full brisket is just too much meat for two people to eat over a few days Your method for separation was solid. You did a great job! Typically, I'll prepare the point Texas style and the flat as pastrami. We usually render down the fat trimmings. Good video.

    I once tested this as well. What I found is that the most important factor was how thick or thin the slices were cut. I was able to slice a semi-frozen brisket into very thin slices and grill them, mimicking kalbi. It can work pretty effectively, if you're so inclined. However, I'd stick to using short ribs for this type of application. Now what is fairly interesting as a steak is a pork butt steak, very tasty and CHEAP if done correctly.

      I mean, not really. Really just rich people. Like I can go to my grocery store and get American Wagyu, and some even will carry Japanese Wagyu (usually at like $200 USD per pound) from time to time and usually frozen but usually I only can get Australian Wagyu at fancy steakhouses or online for like $100 USD. It's not like we're stealing all your meat over here haha and only content creators like Max are being like handed free Wagyu. American Wagyu brisket over here is around $8-10 per pound. So still not cheap.

    Former butcher here. We used to break the front quarter in such a manner that we could isolate a flat muscle underneath the scapula. Once trimmed, it was called the “surprise” in French butchery, because it could be quite tender, though coming from the shoulder. Try it.

    you should try to pressure cook it, our butcher shop often sells the brisket attatched to the ribs (very popular in central asian and south asian cuisine), and they pressure cook the meat in a curry like sauce, almost like braising beef but it
    1. cuts the cooking time by a factor of at least 3-4
    2. makes the beef way more tender
    3. allows for great flavor from spices, onions, garlic, tomato paste, thai chillis etc to fully impart their flavor into the beef/sauce

    I start with a whole brisket that I dry in the wine cooler over night, cold-smoke (25C) for a couple of hours, cut into 8 chunks and put coarse pepper on, sous-vide at 56C for 48 hrs and then put for a couple of minutes in the full-power gas grill. Pink throughout inside, tender, and full of flavour. Do not trim the brisket: the fat will keep it juicy. I freeze the chunks after they cool, take them out, bring them up to 56C and have perfect and cheap steaks whenever I want them.

    In Switzerland, we drop Brisket in Soup "Siedfleischsuppe".
    Works pretty well. Pro-Tip: Drop in a pan with blazing hot oil, set on fire for a few second on a safe place. Put out fire with a lid.

    When you transitioned from you holding Tibby to you putting the flat on the grill, I thought you were still holding Tibby and putting him on the grill 🤣
