What should I do with this?

[W.A.]

I think I got a deal at Costco, again. Should I smoke it this weekend or make pastrami?

I can't read the tag....except for the part where it says PRIME. LOL

[LarryO47]

If you click on the picture you can read what it is. Brisket. Although it does say "whole"...????

[W.A.]

Oh, sorry. Its a trimmed brisket

[GadjetGriller]

Wow Trimmed for 2.99 a pound that's what the packer are here in Texas. Trimmed are a buck or 2 higher you got a great deal!!

[RonB]

That would make great pastrami with that great marbling.

[W.A.]

RonB , I'm thinking that, but leaning on cutting it in half and smoking the point and and brining the flat end. I have to look at it unpackaged though to see the other side as well, but it looks pretty well trimmed

[fuzzydaddy]

You could corn/cure it and use 1/2 for close to Katz pastrami and 1/2 for Sous Vide Que Pastrami for a side-by-side.

[W.A.]

fuzzydaddy, nice idea.

[PaulstheRibList]

I love Side-By-Side's!!!!

[Iron Bulldog]

Maker er smoke Bobby!!!!

[Oakgrovebacon]

Great find, Pastrami would be where I would take that great looking hunk of meat! (If the have more, you should stock your freezer)

[W.A.]

Update: cut in half. Froze half. Brined other half following Meathead 's recipe. Then sous vide 36h following the sous vide que method. Applied rub and it will sit in the fridge a couple of days.

I need to get my butt down to Costco!!!!!!!!

[Spinaker]

We want to see the finished product. Make sure let us know how it goes!

[boftx]

Man, that begs to be in the smoker with any leftovers going into stew and/or chili!

[W.A.]

She's warmin up. View from my couch.

[W.A.]

225F. Corned beef on its way to Pastramiland. 82F and sunny this afternoon.

[FireMan]

Like you needed to ask. You are just showin off & teasin the whole lot of us. Good work!

[W.A.]

First time trying the sous vide Q method. Came out awesome. Probably could have smoked a little longer, but I was hungry.

[EdF]

And what's to complain about there? Can't tell for sure but did you get the homemade sauerkraut and swiiss in there? Regardless - looks great!

[W.A.]

Yup. Not homemade kraut though. Rockin Rueben recipe

[EdF]

Nothing to complain about there!
