Burnt Ends (Serious Barbecue)

Last day of vacation today so decided to do a Brisket, or Burnt Ends from Serious Barbecue by Adam Perry Lang (P.173).   Never had much luck at brisket before so decided to try a new recipe - Very happy with the results and will do this from now on.

Was surprised at the cooking method, 325 F for 2.5 hours, foil for 3 hours.  It tuned out great!  temperature was at 205 after that and very moist.   I cut the 7 lbs brisket in two for room, probably did not have to do that.



The end result



Thanks!

    Did you do them with the melted garlic?

    Very nice. I did my first burnt ends yesterday with a chuck roast and they were great.

    Unfortunately, no.  Did not have any on hand.  Did use his BBQ sauce from the book, which is the only BBQ sauce we use now.  Next time I will be more prepared, the melted garlic sounds good.

    I can highly recommend it.  Mixed in with the burnt ends - you won't forget it.

    His sauce is great too!

    Yes!  But it was been consumed as I was cutting it so it did not all make it to the burnt ends stage.

    I will have to make some and mix it in with the leftovers, if it can make it a few days, not much left now  =).  

    This is is the one cookbook that I use the most, have not been disappointed with any recipes yet, and I'v made many.

    DiPietros's - They usually have a few there either in the display or packed up on the side of it.  They also sell 'OO' flour, if you have a need for that.

    Indeed.  I'm pretty sure the APL recipe calls for using the deckle.  But if chunks of brisket flat cooked up like this taste great, who really cares what they're called?

    We cant eat a whole brisket between the 2 of us, plus if we have another coule over 15 lb brisky goes a long way.

    We always cut up the flat and add it to the point for burnt ends. We then cryovac them for eats later. I haven't heard anyone complain about them eating flat.

    Recipe calls for two brisket points ... It was mostly all point, never seen a full brisket around much, but whatever, you cook with whatever you have.

    I'm not a big Brisket fan, would rather spend the $ on a nice steak, but always fun to try something new.  Having said that the leftovers today was almost better than yesterday - I guess looking at it for 9 hours yesterday made me not too hungry when it was time to eat.

    I have followed that recipe several time and always add the Melting Garlic.  I have also made the BBQ sauce, and that is good stuff!  I agree, this is my most used cook book, with annotations and stains on many pages.  The only recipe I failed was the "Bowl of Red".  May have to try that again some day!

    I usually see pieces of brisket at DePietros. It looks kind of lean to me. Yes, I have bought the OO flour there.
