Hi folks, doing my first brisket monday night so I pre ordered a full one from my local butcher. I was just wondering if anyone could confirm if the loose piece I have cut off was the flat? It looked like it wasnt part of the brisket to me but its quite a big chunk, I dont want to throw it away as it cost £8 Kilo!, if its not the flat then is it worth slapping in the pressure cooker to make a stew?
Heres the beef before I cut it.
This is the top from the other side, as you can see there aint a lot of flat if this piece is a different cut.
This is the trimmed piece, I cut it off at the line as it was really thin.
and here is the bit that I cut off.
Any advice much appreciated
Oh while I was in there I saw a piece of chuck, going to be cooking it with the brisket monday night too, looks like it will be my cut of choice if it turns out nice, just dry brined them at this stage....
