What did everyone cook today?
-
Tex_77 On Saturday I made a brisket for the crew meal at the end of the day. The rub I used was ancho chile based, dark roast coffee and brown sugar and let marinate for 3 days. For serving we used a local made brioche hoagie roll. I’ll post the rub recipe when I get back to the shop.
Joe Hell I want some of those burnt ends!!!

calldoctoday Yeah, I left the chicken in the 5 Minute Marinator for about 1 hour. I understand the theory behind 5 minutes being enough, but more is almost always better!
Joe Hell that’s a boss knife!
Jonathon I am going to try to include my old BBQ knife in a photo too some day. But honestly, the older high carbon steel knives are sharper & better, just not as big so more work.

Saw a whole brisket at Sam’s club today. $4.48 lb. Since I’ve never done one is that a fair price? 14lb chunk.

Tex_77 Here is the Ancho Coffee Rub recipe I use…feel free to cut back as this makes a ton of seasoning.
2 C. Espresso ground coffee (the finer the better)
2 C. Ancho Chile powder
2 C. Dark Brown Sugar
1 C. Smoked Paprika
1 1/2 C. flaked Kosher Salt
1/2 C. ground CuminBetter Living Through BBQ!

PapaSop I cannot help but think that is ridiculous because my antiquated mind still remembers .89 per pound & it is stuck! That being said, last time I bought two choice only at Sam’s they were $2.49 in March around the 19th or 20th when I bought two for the cancelled wedding. Usually I buy Prime their as the have a little less fat cap, more marbling within, & are a little smaller & that works out well. On that day, they had not one single prime available & were out of a lot of things. Since then it has gotten worse & the prices have gone up. You probably need to check for something more recent & then all things considered, how bad do you need it. I will probably have to consider that for the re-scheduled wedding in a few weeks too, so I am not sure yet what I am going to do.

1/2 C. ground CuminJoe Hell That would make a huge batch! Why did you use flaked kosher salt vs regular kosher salt? Do you Morton or Diamond kosher salt, I have read many places the quantities to use between those to brands can vary significantly based on size and shape of the salt crystals.

PapaSop That seems like a fair deal to me. We pay more than that wholesale as our suppliers just jacked prices. We are at least $9.99/lb. although ours would be considered ‘above prime’.
Joe Hell Prime Briskets at Costco today were $5.46#

Thanks guy’s. Athough beef prices have soared around here I was curious. My one son has been bugging me for the last three years to do one. Will have to take the leap at some point. Just didn’t want to get gouged on this. Kinda spendy. Also this was not prime. -

Tex_77 I used Morton’s flaked because it’s what they had on hand. I also thought it was funny that it looked like “Folger’s Crystals”…fitting for a coffee rub. lol. That’s the small batch! When I make up a batch I usually multiply that amount several times over.

After the Sam’s trip today found some baby backs. A little pricier than normal but looked pretty meaty. Cut off a short slab for a quick four hour smoke. Even added BBQ sauce for the last hour. Don’t normally do that. Very good.

johnsbrewhouse Right now it seems like beef is triple the price from three mos ago & rising. See this mornings sell with Boston Butts at .98 all of the sudden & another chicken quarters at .28.

calldoctoday That’s a pretty good price on both of those, if they were that cheap here, I would be buying.

Not my normal cook time. Usually double that but were very good. Had a short window to work with. Yep, like them drier with more bark to them.
