What I did with leftover brisket!

tarheelmatt · July 2016

Cooked a small brisket yesterday. Didn't post in a new discussion.

Tonight, I took the leftover brisket and made one hell of a sandwich.

Texas toast, brisket, mac-n-cheese, american cheese, and egg.

Here's the series.

2 - The Blackstone crisped the brisket up. I buttered the surface real well beforehand.

3 - Toasted the Texas Toast on one side, flipped, and then started building the sandwich. Dukes mayo was slathered on too.

6 - Added mac-n-cheese, with American too. Placed slice of American on the Blackstone to pre-warm it.

7 - Topped with the egg and top piece of toast.

Now that's my kind of sandwich. Amaze balls.

For those interested in the brisket cook from yesterday.

Cooked a small side brisket today. Went with Oakridge Black Ops with some Championship from Texas Rub.

Used Fogo for fuel, oak and pecan for smoke. Ran 250° for the duration.

1 - Wrapped just after the stall.

2 - I wrapped too much and my bark was compromised.

3 - Finished with mac-n-cheese, baked beans, onions, pickles, and slaw. Also had some Texas toast, but forgot to include with the picture. The bottom right could have really used something.

4 - Different look. Brisket was good, didn't fall apart under it's own weight. Could have been more juicy, but it was a select, so what can you expect. For select, it was damn good for select.

Wow!

texaswig · July 2016

Nice. Something different for sure.

JohnnyTarheel · July 2016

I like it!!! Especially the egg and runny yoke

blind99 · July 2016

Brother that is some serious food porn! That's some crazy good photography there, even for a talented guy like you. You have another career waiting for you as a food photographer. Nice work!

tarheelmatt · July 2016

Thanks everyone! Too kind.

saluki2007 · July 2016

Que the Homer drooling gif. I would pay good money to eat that.

Mattman3969 · July 2016

Surely you can do better than that....

just messin Looks very good sir!!

That opening sequence is on hel- of a cook. I am trying to steer clear of the Blackstone vortex but that all in one banquet is tough to put in the rear-view mirror. Friggin banquet right there. Most eggcellent even if the Blackstone was the final glue.

The BS is no joke. It's a breakfast machine. Then, sandwiches like this puts it over the top.

JRWhitee · July 2016

YukonRon · July 2016

Thank You! MBW asked; Was that on the Egg?

So if I get pulled over and the cop has a South African accent, just hand my lunch box over?

Beauty. Great presentation. I need to cook another brisket. Us Carolna boys aren't as lucky are we. Have to overpay for select or choice. I have never even seen a prime brisket in Columbia. If I did it would prolly be more expensive than SRF

We get no love brother, you're right. Walmart as Excel packers for $2.56lb, but they are either choice or select. This was select. I find wrapping in paper helps a lot though with those grades.

@tarheelmatt...that sandwich looks killer. Seriously.

Question on your brisket. I see you wrapped in butcher paper. I did the same on mine this past weekend (first time). My question to you is...how did you test for it being done? Did you probe through the paper? Did you unwrap? Did you just know from the feel (through the paper)?

Just curious? I ended up ripping holes in my paper to probe, but that seemed to defeat the purpose of the paper.

Thanks!

I place my meat probe for monitoring through the paper. Once I hit 195° ish, I start probing with the Thermapen for the right feel, but go through the paper with that too. Don't worry with unwrapping.

-well done! That sandwich looks great

Eggdicted_Dawgfan · July 2016
