Ideas on what to do with a brisket flat that’s so dry it is almost crumbling?

      Crumble/ chop it it up, add it to fresh ground beef (20% brisket to 80%ground beef) and make smoked brisket burgers. A local restaurant does this and the burgers are great.

        This is a very interesting idea! I had never thought of doing this, but I’m going to try it now!!!

      Green chile brisket tacos. Chop it up, Let it simmer in some beef stock perhaps, then pull it out and add the green chile and and pan fry it up a bit then add to tacos so the juice doesn’t soften the tortilla. Then crisp those tortillas up on the griddle with cheese of your choice.

      That’s what I’d do. But I love me some brisket tacos!

        Chopped brisket with BBQ sauce mixed in. I had not had that until recently in a visit to Bucee's, and it was so good I did it myself with some brisket leftovers recently.

          All the suggestions pointed to some kind of sauce. Even a gravy would help. Just get it some moisture, and I am sure it will be great

            I inject brisket with beef broth before the cook . . . how about after?
            Maybe an after-cook marinade?
            Steam it in a rice cooker?
            Dry it completely, grind it into a powder, and make your own Beef Boullion, beef rub, or beef seasoning.
            Add the brisket powder to Cools Light for Brisket Flavored Beer.

              Can always salvage it by putting it in a crock pot with your favorite BBQ sauce. Will become tender again and will be great on sandwiches!

                Pull / chop mix with your favorite sauce and any drippings you have , bag and freeze. Thank me later when at 2 am some morning after a few too many and you MUST have bbq?

                  I've been through that once. I started then only cooking primes. Surprised at your cook with a prime, but i guess it happens, unluck of the draw. I did a rotisserie chicken once with the same dried out results, must of been the barnyard bully.

                    So, about a pound got chopped and mixed with some canned beans, the drippings I had saved, and a can of Rotel. A yummy dinner last night. The rest is bagged and frozen for future use in chili or one of the other excellent suggestions you folks made in this thread. Thank you for your help everyone.

                      Dagnabbit, don't make me come down there and visit you in Florida to help you learn how to cook a brisket... :-)

                        C’mon down. I know you’d hate to leave that Indianapolis weather, but…

                      My wife makes an awesome stew with any leftovers brisket. She will freeze some of the liquid which goes in the gravy....fantastic!

                        My favorite! Chop brisket small, add to white gravy and serve like you would sausage and gravy. Much better than sausage!

                          Damn dude,

                          That sucks. I'll bet you were seriously disappointed. Makes me nervous for my upcoming cook that I have the whole extended neighborhood coming. I'm def gonna inject w/ phosphates as added layer of protection against drying.

                          I love the suggestions here. I'm taking note, just in case!
