Anyone cook grass fed very much? Every try a brisket? My local butcher has grass fed briskets from time to time and wanted to get the opinion of everyone before I drop the money on it.

Don't do it. Way too lean. Waste of money.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Agree with centex your better off getting and increase in grading for the extraordinary you spend on grass fed. Also has a slightly different flavor profile some don't like because its different than beef. Think hormone free chicken to franken-birds.

I have had grass fed before (bought a portion of a cow), however, I did not get the brisket. I enjoy the flavor of grass fed. Cost wise the butcher sells briskets, grass fed, for $3.79 a pound. Not sure what you pay where you are, but that is basically the same price as grain fed up here in the NW.

I like grass fed burgers a lot, but I agree, the marbled fat in brisket makes all the difference and you just don't get as much of it with grass fed beef.

I can't say I've price brisket but the butcher by my house sells prime ribeye about $17 a pound and his grass fed runs around $22.

There is nothing wrong with grass fed beef. You just don't want flank, brisket or eye of round from it.

Most of ours is grass fed. Some corn but very little. Tough stuff sometimes

I have cooked grass fed roasts in the crockpot, turned out great, except for one but the meat went bad for some reason on that one.
