Not ruined if you smoke it to 115-120, reverse sear it until medium rare, and then top it with black pepper sauce.

Help me out...why do I not like Brisket? I loved smoked meat, but don't like

Defective

Is it that simple? Maybe it is. But do you like brisket more than a filet from

COUGZ

9/11/20 10:42am

Oh, I'll take a properly cooked prime stake if I have the choice, but I don't see it as a competition.

cougfanblue

9/11/20 10:44am

I was merely putting the top brisket vs. top filet as a comparison...

COUGZ

9/11/20 10:45am

I'd take good brisket over a filet every time but its a closer call with ribeye

Tricky

9/11/20 10:48am

I agree with that. Filets are overrated (and overpriced).

cougfanblue

9/11/20 10:52am

I think I agree with your first point, but that doesn't translate to "not liking brisket."

cougfanblue

9/11/20 10:52am

Texture.

Don't like it or don't prefer it?

mango

9/11/20 10:41am

I don't really like it. I'll chose almost anything else at a BBQ place.

COUGZ

9/11/20 10:42am

That's because steak is a lot better than Brisket.

bushy7

9/11/20 10:42am

I don't think you're missing anything, just personal preference. More brisket

J-Rod

9/11/20 10:42am

Is it the texture? I could see people not liking the texture.

Noni Fruit

Maybe it is this...smoked Tri-Tip is ruined on because of the texture of it.

COUGZ

9/11/20 10:43am

Yeah your taste buds didn't develop properly in the womb.

The simplest explanation is usually the right one - you’re an odd-ball

Estrogen

Perhaps....

COUGZ

9/11/20 10:43am

How much estrogen is in brisket?

Coach's Dad

9/11/20 10:55am

If you're comparing it to a good ribeye, then yes, I prefer that too. The brisket meat is crappy though for cooking any

jaromp

Tri-Tip is ruined nearly 100% of the time when it is smoked, IMO.

COUGZ

9/11/20 10:46am

Not ruined if you smoke it to 115-120, reverse sear it until medium rare, and then top it with black pepper sauce.

cougfanblue

9/11/20 11:11am

I reverse sear mine too. Smoke, then sear to med rare.

Tricky

9/11/20 11:15am

Try this black pepper sauce with it next time:

cougfanblue

9/11/20 11:17am

I absolutely will. I've had it on steak but never made it myself. Thx!

Tricky

9/11/20 11:21am

That's how I feel about Pulled Pork.

RockyBalboa

9/11/20 10:45am

Pulled Pork is always very safe for me. I love smoked sausage and turkey most.

COUGZ

9/11/20 10:47am

I actually think brisket is way overrated. It’s making the best of a crap cut of meat (which is also why they are often

I didn’t like it until I went to La Barbecue in Austin. But apparently that

My wife will usually not touch fat. Fat on a steak disgusts her. She wants

Tricky

9/11/20 11:20am

I get it, but when I cut into a brisket & shred pulled pork that's the best

braddahmike

9/11/20 10:51am

I agree, brisket doesn't live up to the hype. Burnt ends are where is at.

swimbro

Burnt ends from Jack Stack's BBQ in Kansas City....now I'm hungry.

RH84025

9/11/20 11:02am

Agreed.

Are you getting them full of grease or dry?

kapcreations

9/11/20 10:59am

I never eat sauce on brisket — the rub should make a great bark

Tricky

9/11/20 11:14am

A good rub tends to complement the beef flavor, while a bbq sauce tends to overpower it IMO.

cougfanblue

9/11/20 11:15am

I feel sick most of the time I eat it.

ThatBYUFan

9/11/20 11:00am

Hot take: tri-tip is way better

YIsForBrigham

9/11/20 11:03am

Maybe your taste buds are defective. I can't imagine not liking both.

TailgateU

For those who can't get to Austin: try Little Miss BBQ in Phoenix

Tricky

Brisket definitely has a potroast taste to it. A good prime rib or tenderloin

DeekLyfter

9/11/20 11:53am

Ribeye with Traeger prime rib rub, reverse seared. Pure heaven.
