Hi all,
I am arranging a purchase of a side of beef to share with 7 others (so 8, total). My most pressing question is what do folks recommend in terms of getting a Brisket? I want this cut, but one other buyer is hoping to get it as well-- I think I read that it can be split (flat & point?)... If I had to share this brisket, is that the 'optimal' way to do it?
Are there any other cuts that are best left intact for BBQ? maybe the tri-tip?
I will be asking the butcher to 'maximize sharing for 8 families', so I am trying to get a handle on what to leave whole, what can be shared if cut a certain way (like the brisket?) yet still be good for BBQ, etc. I know that I want the eye of round roast whole--or maybe cut in two, at the most
. We bought a hindquarters last year, so I kind of know what to expect for that quarter.
Thanks in advance for any advice
