Consider The Size Of Your Brisket<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne of the first things you are going to want to consider here is the size of your brisket. What size briskets do you have available in your area? Do you have a whole or half brisket? Are they cut from the same side of the cow? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are all questions that you should ask yourself before deciding on what you think is the best size for your brisket. You don’t want to go too big or too small. You also want to avoid cutting across the grain if possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will ensure that your meat stays tender and juicy throughout its entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do decide to use a whole brisket, you’re going to want to plan on having two servings per person. This means that you’ll have enough left over to freeze for another day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you choose to buy a half brisket, you’ll only need to serve one serving per person. So, if you were planning on serving four people, you’d only need to cook one half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When buying your brisket, you’ll probably notice that there are many options available. Some stores sell their cuts of beef while others may be selling pre-cut pieces. Either way, you’ll want to look carefully at the packaging so that you can determine exactly which cut of beef you’re getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you get home, you’ll want to remove any excess fat from around the edges of the brisket. This will allow you to easily slice off portions without having to worry about any unwanted grease seeping through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve removed the fat, you’ll want to trim away any excess fat or sinew that has been left behind. You’ll also want to remove any large chunks of fat that you see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After removing these extra bits, you’ll want to place the brisket on a clean surface. You’ll want to lay it out flat and then start slicing it into smaller sections. It’s important to note that the thicker the piece of meat, the thinner you’ll want to slice it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if you had a thick hunk of steak, you would want to slice it thinly. You’ll also want the slices to be fairly even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll want to make sure that you’re not leaving any significant amounts of sinew or fat within the slices. You’ll want to try to keep the thickness of the slices between ¼ inch and ½ inch. This will ensure that each bite contains a nice amount of flavor and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amount Of Guests<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne of the biggest questions that people ask themselves when they first think about barbecuing is how many guests they plan to serve. There are a few things to consider here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, you’ll want to take into account the number of people who will be eating at the barbecue. If you’re planning to feed just one person, you won’t need as much brisket as someone who plans to feed 10-12 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing to consider is whether or not you plan to serve appetizers with your meal. If you’re serving appetizers, you’ll want to make sure to include plenty of them. Otherwise, you’ll find that people tend to eat more food than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
