Beef Brisket

[Stephane Richard]

Hello all,

My first brisket is on the way, It's been smoking for the last 16hr and getting to 170 right now.

I was wondering How people are serving it for dinner?

Thanks

I wondered the very same thing. Ended up serving mine with optional hamburger buns, plus had Steve Reichlan's homemade baked beans (fabulous!) and cole slaw on the side. You can serve a sauce with it (ok, some folks might kill you for this, but I made some kind of bbq sauce available) but it's actually so tasty that it's great on it's own on slices of waxed paper, which is maybe the authentic way to serve it.

Ok, now that you've heard from a rank amateur, let's let the experts chime in!

I cook the flat and the point separate. If serving just the flat, I slice thinly across the grain and serve some sauces on the side.

If cooking the point, I shred just like a pork butt and serve on sammiches.

No matter how you serve it, be sure to save any drippings in the foil and add those to your sauce.
