Any salvage recipe for a less than stellar brisket?

FearlessTheEggNoob · December 2013

I tried to work some magic on a select grade flat and it ended up drying out and the slices barely hold together if at all. Since then I discovered Costco sells choice and prime grade for a very attractive price so my "select" days are now over.

Anyways, I have several frozen servings of vac packed brisket that taste and look very much like slow-cooker potroast after they come out of the sous vide. I was wondering if the more creative out there might have some recipe ideas. Maybe something like a Shepard's Pie or what not. I'm already bored of chopped beef sandwiches.

maybe use it in chili or maybe enchiladas, brunswick stew

You could make Cowlick chili with it. Should be awesome.

I just made Cowlick Chili with my leftover brisket. It was great! I subbed 2lbs of brisket in place of the ground beef.

White beans and brisket. You will get the flavor of tb e brisket and the beans wil give it moisture.

Melt up a bunch of velveeta,toss in the brisket, jalapeños, and voila, queso con carne.

Food processor, warm in au jus, mushrooms, peppers, onions and cheese on toasted hoagies. Salvaged or not....great sandwich.

I saw on some forum (it may have been this one) of a burger made with 100% bacon. I like bacon, but that sounds gross to me. However, thinking about it, putting about 2/3 dried-out brisket and 1/3 raw bacon through a grinder, and then making burgers with the result, sounds interesting to me.

I'll definitely be trying it the next time I overcook a brisket (which does happen here and there…)

OT but thought you may like this. Inside leather was very cool.

Maybe just feed it to the dog and start over?

2 cups of beef broth. Some potatoes, carrots,celery,onions, a little worschister little salt and pepper. Throe it all in the crock pot and 6-8 hours later a fantastic stew. He'll throw anything in it

Why not just chop up and reheat with some BBQ sauce and turn it into "pulled" beef sandwiches?

I have had a couple of dry ones. Last time I poured four Fireman Reds in a pan with the dry brisket, sealed with foil and went for an hour or two back on the Egg. No bark but turned out moist and tender.

No way I'm giving that dog 4lbs of brisket. He has enough nasty farts as it is.
