Wagyu Brisket

[buckfan50]

I know it's not the real stuff but man o man what a brisket. Seasoned with a little 2 Gringos Chupacabra Brisket magic then heavy on the S&P. Smoked it hot 300+ to and internal temp of 160 then did the Texas crutch and pulled it off at around 207F when it was probe tender. Juiciest most tender brisket I have ever experienced!!!

It was on sale at HEB for $6 a pound ours was a small one and it was $65. I've been wanting to try one for a while and went for it!

What's a Texas crutch?

Crutch

What's a Texas crutch?

Wrapping it in aluminum foil to help it get past the stall, a lot of times the brisket will hit 185 and stay there for hours, it also helps keep it moist.

wrapping in foil to get it beyond the 165 mark into the 190s... basically avoiding the stall.

At $6 it's for sure not full blooded Wagyu, probably mixed with Angus (it could be a very low % of Wagyu and still labelled as such). Still tasty beef though.

Yessir. Wangus is still good stuff!

Lots of confusion between Wagyu and Kobe

When I looked up the description of Wagyu it said a Wagyu sire with an American Black Angus cross.
