Here is an odd problem to have...I think. First, I must brag on a proud moment. My daughter turns 10 next week and is having a birthday party this weekend. When I asked her what she wanted to serve, out of anything she could think of, she said "that's easy, of course, brisket"! I guess we are raising her right!
now to the issue at hand. I have just trimmed 4 briskest for this weekend and have them dry brining. I have a guy I always buy from (choice and prime, depending what he has) and I get them for about $2/lb. they aren't well trimmed but do come about 18-20 lbs each. I usually get a couple lbs of fat/little meat of each. Today, one was extremely fatty and in all, I got a little more than 10lbs of mostly fat.
i usually freeze the fat and then later will render and use to baste steaks. But this time, with so much, I am not sure what to do. I never like freezing more than a couple lbs because I don't like keeping it frozen too long...and I cannot each that much steak before this goes bad.
Anyone have any good ideas what to do with all this fat?
Thanks!
