This isn’t a tutorial, just notes from my latest brisket cook which was a lazy but tasty effort.<\/p>\n

Several weeks ago, Kroger had USDA Choice whole beef briskets on sale for $1.99 a pound. I’ll always jump on brisket at that price. If I do nothing but grind it into ground beef, I’m still getting about half off. I picked out a nicely shaped one and I was thrilled when I flipped it over and saw the Certified Angus Beef\u00ae Brand<\/a> logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

CAB brisket for $1.99?\u00a0 That’s like reserving an economy rental car and getting to the rental place and they give you a convertible sports car or SUV upgrade.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I wasn’t in a hurry to cook it so I wet-aged it at 33-36\u00b0f for 30 days. It’s not as good as dry aging but it is much easier and that was the theme of this brisket…..minimal effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again, I took the easy road at every turn on this cook. I have been extremely busy at work this summer and barely have time to come up for air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
