I stopped at my local Hy-Vee grocery store tonight just to grab a couple of small items, when I noticed some Wagyu briskets in the meat section (because I can't go to the store without checking out the meat section even if I'm not shopping for meat). I have never seen wagyu briskets in Hy-Vee, and these were priced at $6.99/lb, which didn't sound too bad since the last one I got was choice angus reserve, and that was $4.99/lb. Needless to say, I decided that I couldn't pass this up. It's a pretty nicely trimmed and well proportioned brisket, and I'm already looking forward to smoking this in the KBQ. I'll give it about 30 days in the DMF to wet age, and then git'er done.

Good luck! I've cooked ONE wagyu brisket in my time, but I didn't get to try it. -
That is a good price, They are $8.99/here - haven't seen $6.99/lb in about three years. The ones I've cooked tend to cook faster than regular briskets. Wagyu fat renders at a lower temperature.Comment

I’ve now cooked three. The first was from a 1/2 of a wagyu beef that my wife and I purchased. It was fabulous. The other two were really good, but, not as good as the first. I’m good friends with the guy who raised my first wagyu brisket and he is cattle whisperer when it comes to raising delicious beef (his angus is also fabulous).Comment

Wow, that is a great deal for Wagyu. Hy-Vee is awesome. I was glad to see them taking over in the Twin Cities. I missed Hy-Vee when I moved back to MN after college.Comment

That's a great price alright! Looking forward to seeing how the cook goes!Comment

I’ve done a few of these. If you pay attention and follow the “probe like butter” you’ll find that while the time and temp might be different, it still behaves like a brisket. The thing is, time and temp might be the same, too. It might stall early, or late, or it might not stall at all. It might be done at 195°, or it might be done at 205°.
So it’s a brisket, like all the other briskets. Just keep an eye on it, and remember: “probes like buttah.”Comment

Almost sounds to good to be true. Great price.Comment

Wagyu briskets tend to cook slightly faster, so go by feel also, not just temp. Like Mosca says: probes like buttah!Comment
