    American Wagyu - Part 4

    Well to be most accurate its Part 3 continued. In part 3 I QVQ to Medium Rare an A Bar N Ranch absolutely gorgeous packer brisket. In that write up I cut off the front end of the flat which constituted about 40% of the weight, to make into pastrami. Knowing how good that Wagyu meat was, I couldn't wait to get crackin' on this flat so into the brine it went for 5 days to corn using Doc Blonder's calculator...

    Came out on a Thursday, I soaked it overnight then did the initial smoke of the QVQ process to establish my bark and work some flavor into the meat. It then went into a 135* SV bath for the next 52 hours. Iced down to stop the cooking process and chill the meat, it went back into the fridge until this weekend when I got a chance to do the final smoke and re-establish the bark.

    Final smoke went well, and if there was ever a justification or reason to purchase a fan controlled product (in this case a Fireboard with a Pit Viper fan) just check out this near perfect graph of that cook...

    When it hit 135*, I pulled and rested it for about 30 minutes then sliced for sandwiches. Net result, very good. Not quite as good as some other Wagyu I've made pastrami from, but I'm not complaining. Even my wife, who doesn't care much for it (more for me ) even liked it.

    All in all another perfect result using the QVQ process. Bottom line, I highly recommend purchasing a brisket from the A Bar N Ranch folks, you will not be disappointed. A cut above prime, fully trimmed and cheaper then a lot of the on line merchants out there.

    And of course I'd be remiss by not saying that I had to have me a Pastrami sandwich on an onion roll the next day. Enjoy the parting shots. Trout is out !!!!

    Ah, man, stop it please. I promised the wife I wouldn't buy any more meat until we ate at least half of what we have in the freezer. Now I am going to break that promise, this will cost me much more than just the price of the brisket...

      Looks awesome. I like that they sell their briskets Pit Trimmed rather than packer, saves some work. Just checked their website, still sold out. They do have a discount code for 20% off site wide though.
