Great Meat, Bad Value
Invested in this 20lb Wagyu Brisket for a family BBQ. Had always done Prime Brisket in the past and was looking to level up for this cook. I'll start with the good. It came out awesome. The meat was nicely marbled and the fat rendered amazingly. It was a slight notch above the past briskets I've done. All the guests enjoyed it very much. Now the bad, at $285 for a 20lb brisket you are already paying a premium. This was aggravated by the fact that this particular brisket I received required around 9lbs of fat trimmed off. Trust me that I did not over trim this brisket. I left about a quarter inch on the fat side and if anything, I left more deckle fat than I usually do. Every brisket needs 2-5 lbs of trimming but this was excessive. Not sure if it was just the brisket I received or if all the BMS 7's are like that. Wagyu means nice fat. We all know that. But it's fat that is nicely marbled into the meat, not an inch thick inedible layer surrounding the meat. On the bright side, I was able to make some really nice, expensive beef tallow.
Meat N' Bone
The average yield of a PACKERS brisket is 50%, at 9lb of trim, you are actually beating the average. There will be briskets with more and with less... but this is the industry-wide average.
Awesome Experience
Awesome experience. Fast delivery, fair price, beautiful cut of meat as advertised!
WAYGU BRISKET
Great piece of meat. Def worth it. Everyone loved the finished product
Best brisket of your life
I got this as an anniversary gift and tenderly slow smoked it for 14 hours and let it rest for 2. The juices were dripping down the counter while slicing and it was magnificent point to flat. The only downside was it had a HUGE bald spot upon arrival. My brisket had more than half of the fat that should have been on the point gone. It was just a shock but it was not too much of a negative because it was seriously still the best cut of meat we’ve ever had the pleasure to enjoy. We ended up with 3 days of leftovers and it was juicy and amazing up until the end. I never even thought to use the Chimichurri I made. You just won’t need anything else but to brace yourself because this will just knock you off your feet and take you out of this world.
