A brisket for the BBQ or smoker is an amazing choice for many occasions, from gatherings to simple dinners. To get the best out of your brisket BBQ, it is important to start with a high-quality cut of beef brisket.
If you’re planning to have a brisket BBQ party, check out McKays Family Butcher’s BBQ brisket guide on how to prepare it the right way. Read on!
To start, you need to trim your brisket nicely and neatly.
At McKays Family Butcher, we use top-tier brisket from grass-fed beef and fresh from the calf, perfect for slow cooking, smoking, or grilling. As this cut comes from the sternum, it typically has a layer of fat on top. While some fat is necessary for flavour, trimming the excess is important.
Start removing the unnecessary fat thoroughly until it’s clear from the unnecessary fat. But don’t throw the meat away immediately; you can use it for other purposes!
We can customise the portion to your preference, whether you favour the deckle or the flat for your BBQ brisket.
We also provide minced fat, which many people use to make delicious burgers or to enhance their brisket recipe. We can tailor the brisket to your liking, whether you trim a little or a lot.
After trimming your meat, it’s time to choose your seasoning for the perfect brisket recipe.
Seasoning your brisket is where the magic happens. A classic blend of salt, pepper, and garlic works well, but if you’re looking to elevate the flavour, McKays offers a variety of seasonings from Chilli Punk.
We have a wide range of spices and rubs:
These seasonings will enhance the natural flavours of the brisket and add a unique twist to your brisket BBQ.
Once prepped, with the brisket trimmed and seasoned, it’s time to prepare it for the BBQ or smoker.
At McKays Family Butcher, we’re here to help you make the most of your brisket BBQ. From selecting the perfect cut to offering seasoning advice, our team is ready to assist. Get your brisket today at McKays Family Butchers and enjoy the ultimate barbecue experience!
