    "chuck brisket"

    Anyone run into this label before? It was a buck cheaper than "brisket" at a local supermarket. My wife picked one up, which is duly getting the dry brine treatment.

    It looks like a thin flat, though it is Angus choice. The interesting characteristic is that the grain is running diagonally (almost horizontally) across the cut. For some reason, I expect a brisket flat to have the grain running along the length.

    So I'm ready to assume I'm dealing with a stealth chuckie for tomorrow's cook. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

    Looks very interesting, especially around the edges. 🕶

      Yeah OK, but my wife already stashed it in the back building fridge while it's dry-brining. Americans - we need our pics!

      And I'm too lazy to head out there!

        With that then I say boil it for 6 hours, toss in a few spuds, turnips and leeks and call it British Beef.

        CaptainMike tempting though it may be, I don't roll that way! Into the smoker, he said!

      I looked on the internet and on the Angus site. No mention of the cut you bought. I would treat it as though it was beef.

        It’s probably the cut between a chuck and a brisket, like the inner leg or whatever hence the angle of the grain,,,, just a guess
