Prime Brisket Done

As I posted earlier, I found this Prime brisket at H.E.B. and couldn't resist buying it, especially at that price.

Trimmed it and prepped it with some Meat Church BBQ Rub for an overnight stay in the frig.

After a few hours in the cooler it's ready to cut.

It's so tender that slicing is difficult, even with a very sharp knife.

It's getting even more tender.

And quite juicy in the point.

It was so tender that I finally gave up and decided to chop it, all of it. And mix some Franklin BBQ Sauce to keep it wet.

Looks to be about 7 or 8 pounds left from the almost 13 pounds after trimming, cooking and trimming off the hard bark in a couple of places, and eating about a pound for 'lab test purposes.'

Bagged some for us and for a bunch of neighbors to get their opinions.

If I do get the chance to cook a Prime brisket again I'll probably do it different. But this one was pretty good.

Thanks for looking.
