I Cooked a Brisket like a Steak

Cooking a brisket is very different than cooking a steak. Briskets are packed with tough collagen, while most steaks are significantly more tender. In this experiment we used a few different techniques that combine both processes, allowing us to ultimately try cooking a brisket like a steak. This was a fun one!
Thank you ‪@andy_cooks‬ and Carrara 640 for the beef!

Using wagyu for this experiment is cheating though. I would’ve like to see him try this on a regular brisket.

[@bs3856]

It ruined the whole video imo.

[@aesop2733]

I understand what you're getting at but his first test was pretty clear that wagyu still has the same issue with the particular cut, being particularly tough.

[@kevindurant2735]

Because he and you and everyone knows that it’s scientifically impossible to make a normal brisket good cooking it like a steak he did what he could without completely clickbaiting

[@mriidulbhatia]

honestly that would just straight up not work. Making something just to test and then let it go to waste is disrespectful to the food. Atleast he tried something that produced an edible result at the end, so props to him for that. I agree its cheating but cooking a normal brisket that way would be so bad he doesn’t need to try it to know.

[@yolilherb465]

Chadol Baekee is a Korean bbq cut, that is thinly sliced brisket, cooked quickly. It is super tender bc of the slice! That may be a better way to cook brisket using Korean methods.

Your government, imo, is perhaps more corrupt than the US. Its no wonder they want to sell out to other countries while giving the shittiest treatment to their own people. Just look at that Italian premier or whatever its called, hes basically a mob boss sending secret police to peoples houses because they make him offended.

[@jmill1334]

I mean, not really. Really just rich people. Like I can go to my grocery store and get American Wagyu, and some even will carry Japanese Wagyu (usually at like $200 USD per pound) from time to time and usually frozen but usually I only can get Australian Wagyu at fancy steakhouses or online for like $100 USD. It's not like we're stealing all your meat over here haha and only content creators like Max are being like handed free Wagyu. American Wagyu brisket over here is around $8-10 per pound. So still not cheap.

[@ubvrox]

I bought some amazing Australian picanha once 😋

[@zaneellzey1084]

I regularly separate the point and flat, glad to see others doing it pre-cook. For us, it came out of necessity as a full brisket is just too much meat for two people to eat over a few days Your method for separation was solid. You did a great job! Typically, I'll prepare the point Texas style and the flat as pastrami. We usually render down the fat trimmings. Good video.

[@michelhv]

Former butcher here. We used to break the front quarter in such a manner that we could isolate a flat muscle underneath the scapula. Once trimmed, it was called the “surprise” in French butchery, because it could be quite tender, though coming from the shoulder. Try it.

[@kevinfriedman6766]

I once tested this as well. What I found is that the most important factor was how thick or thin the slices were cut. I was able to slice a semi-frozen brisket into very thin slices and grill them, mimicking kalbi. It can work pretty effectively, if you're so inclined. However, I'd stick to using short ribs for this type of application. Now what is fairly interesting as a steak is a pork butt steak, very tasty and CHEAP if done correctly.

[@mediocrejokre]

Yes, this! cut thin and have yourself some steak bites, it's amazing 👌😋

South Americans regularly cook brisket like a steak and it comes out amazing. Lookup “granito no espeto”. The key is to use a skewer and carve out the outer crust, in thin pieces. Then each bit against the grain.

This is basically Korean BBQ in that the marinade is basically galbi marinade. Like galbi (short ribs) the grill method makes for a a little less tender meat compared to low and slow that both cuts are associated with. Both methods for both cuts should be delicious.

[@its_hokori]

you should try to pressure cook it, our butcher shop often sells the brisket attatched to the ribs (very popular in central asian and south asian cuisine), and they pressure cook the meat in a curry like sauce, almost like braising beef but it 1. cuts the cooking time by a factor of at least 3-4 2. makes the beef way more tender 3. allows for great flavor from spices, onions, garlic, tomato paste, thai chillis etc to fully impart their flavor into the beef/sauce
