Carolina Reaper Corned Brisket Ready for Today on the Hunsaker

Jason TQ · Aug 20, 2017

Did a thread about the awesome Costco deal other folks were seeing and got lucky and picked up some briskets. Corned 2 and after 8 days they are out. 3 halves sealed up and smoking one later today.

I tweaked my recipe from last time with some more stuff for fun. Had the perfect amount of heat on it so we'll see how this round goes.

Running to Costco here shortly just to take some things back and get a few snacks and some charcoal for a buddy..........hoping to show restraint since I still have 5 other briskets from that deal :becky:. I don't need any more meat or things we aren't going for.................:twitch:

Running it on my Hunsaker which will be new for my corned beef.

Good luck with that, never works out for me. I came back with 18lbs of sausage and another brisket yesterday. :crazy:

Looking forward to seeing the end product.

Tossed it on about 12:45. 2-3hrs in the smoke then a little semi steam bath to finish.

I had a feeling that you might be headed towards pastrami... and it's nice to see my inkling confirmed.

That's going to be GOOD. Honestly, I'm a bit on the jealous side at the moment.

Yep...def pastrami instead of corned beef. Look like it's gonna be very tasty.

Ya. As it sat coming out of the brine it's all corned beef, until the smoke. Going to try and steam is more this time and will probably do it in the oven and start with boiling water in the pan. Restaurant Depot actually carries full corned beef packers that are great when I don't have any made myself, but I really like the homemade stuff. Interested to see how the additional flavors do this go round.

Restrained myself at costco as an FYI. On top of the returns we made only got some random clothes for the tiny human and bought some avocado's that were oddly all perfectly ripe in the bag, which is why I don't buy them there normally since getting multiple ripe doesn't happen much :shock:. So made a bunch of guac for this week and maybe for the pastrami later :becky:

And here it is about 90mins in

I apparently need to up my brining bucket game. Looking good!

Coriander is the key. Never tried ginger on these. Sounds like a good idea.

I'll bring the rye bread

do you vac seal the guac, or how do you keep it from discoloring? I've always made small batch for that reason.

To be honest a quarter of it is already gone......the rest is in a glad container. A little discolor which can happen doesn't bother me as it still tastes the same. This might last till Tuesday :clap2:

Jason TQ · Aug 20, 2017

Into the oven. Smoked for about 3hrs.

Jason TQ · Aug 20, 2017

Done and just resting till we eat

Dayummm!

wihint · Aug 20, 2017

That looks amazing to say the least!

Jason TQ · Aug 20, 2017

Marty you were correct . This was really good :-D. No joking this go round.....it was really really good.

Might be my favorite corned beef/pastrami so far :clap2:. Here it is cut in half and a slice. Went light on the meat.......
