Brisket & Pastrami Butt for Sunday

Jason TQ · Apr 17, 2021

Our older tiny human hit 4 earlier this week :twitch:. Got few folks coming over tomorrow for a small bday gathering.

I'm just doing meat and grandparents bringing some sides. Brisket and a corned butt for some pastrami pork.

He helped get the brisket out of the garage fridge

About 16lbs and gave it a little trim and then injected with help this morning :clap2:.

Just rubbed the brisket down with some ground down Montreal Steak and then a little extra pepper

Corned butt got some generic pastrami rub I make (no recipe other than no salt).

Since we'll do earlier dinner I'm gonna warm them to death over night at around 200 :becky: and then finish in the morning.

He's into Spiderman right now (I mean who isn't :-D) so wife just got done with this cake which is pretty freaking cool.

More to come tomorrow. Supposed to be a crazy nice day.

Thanks Marty. Should be a good Sunday to hang out and watch the kids run around outside.

Here's the last time he tried to carry a brisket

Your wife has some serious baking skills there! Can’t wait to see how the rest of the cook turns out tomorrow.

Just same as you would beef. Kind of a ham flavor, but a little different. I like it more than regular pulled pork. Corned ribs are great too.

Happy birthday to the older tiny one!

A grand birthday feast!

The cake is spectacular, my Spidey senses tell me it will taste just as good as it looks!

Your boy with a brisket as big as his body is a keeper photo!

I was really wondering if you did a curing brine or a dry cure.... which curing agent (Cure #1 or Tender Quick), and what additional spices, and cure times.

I have a few threads and this one batch I did. I use cure 1 and my ratio of water/salt/cure/brown sugar is simply what Meathead does. I pretty much wing my "pickling spice" ratio eat time :crazy:.

I'll typically inject 10% of weight and then give it another 6'ish days in the drink.

Butt done and resting. Brisket probably has another hour after bumping temp this morning.

Cheating on my Icehouse edge today........:sad:

Jason TQ · Apr 18, 2021

Wife gave me this thing and told me to "blow it up".............not sure if this is for the party or later :icon_blush:

Jason TQ · Apr 19, 2021

Here's the rest of what I was able to get pics of.

Wife did a cool web slinger thing with a spiderman figure and marshmallow :-D

Brisket got a tinge overdone because of "reasons" :shock:. But this clearly hasn't been the first time and still tasted great despite semi-falling apart.

Then used the leftover meat to chop up tonight and put in some biscuit dough I flattened out, added cheese and rolled up. Roasted potatoes too
