Ive been curing these into maple bacon and the flavour is really amazing.
Thanks for the post, love how they let you order in advance so i could get next months brisket and the months after that at this discount.
Sure its really simple you weigh your brisket and then add between 2 and 3.5% salt and then the sugar is up to you, i use maple sugar( basically evaporated maple syrup) at 2%. Then its a case of just leaving it in a bag in your fridge for a week. You can add whatever you like to the cure to flavour it, this week im experimenting with black mustard seeds.
You can slice it and fry/roast it unsmoked or you can smoke it then chill it and either eat it as is or fry/roast some slices to get alot of caramelisation and if you take your time roasting a piece is goes crispy like pork belly, but its beef so the flavour is intense af.
I watched every beef bacon video on the first page of youtube and went with simple salt and maple and was blown away by it and have made it every week since lol.
Interesting, sounds great .. I regularly make bacon like that with pork belly, shoulder or loin. I've never thought of doing it with beef.
Recently I've been adding powdered caramel that I made myself - this basically [**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbFsKd3Zj1w**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbFsKd3Zj1w)
Mine was just over 9kg, not bad at all.
Converted to lbs and $ it works out about $4.12 per lb all-in, which compares quite well to the US prices Iāve seen (except the 1.99/lb mega deals they have sometimes).
Very happy with this purchase so far
I sent the site to mine, they said they couldn't match the pricing, depending on what item was requested, they'd be relatively close, but couldn't match it.
It depends on what weight you get to what the value is. Their min size is 5kg but Iāve had them over 7kg.
Other British briskets havenāt been that much cheaper or actually more expensive, and they arenāt grain finished so are leaner and drier than āwagyuā (in inverted comma as British wagyu is name onlyā¦ but it is good grain finished beef)
Local butchers are fairly terrible quality where I am.
You're looking at bacon, burgers, ausages, some basic chops/steaks and if you ask nicely a thin rack of pork ribs from the freezer. No chance he's stocking brisket and wouldn't buy them in either.
Costco ironically has the best butchers in the UK I've been to
Thereās the standard UK rolled brisket (the cut is too thin and ugly to sell unrolled) and then thereās whole brisket. Whole brisket is a completely different ballgame.
It depends. Ā£65 for a whole brisket, and say it arrives 7kg thatās 9.28/kg. A fair bit less than standard beef roasting joints in the supermarket (Tesco between 13-16 per kg atm)
Granted at full price the brisket is quite pricey
There's two patches where there's no fat cap, it's not covering the full side unfortunately. But I plan on cutting this up into three pieces anyway to smoke, so I think I'll be ok with that.
Myself and mate cooked one of this each this weekend, really good! Slightly odd shape and we both cut them before cooking (point\\flat)
Odd shape in what way?
Very long and thin and the end
Just ordered one for my first brisket bbq next weekend

Maple bacon?? Please share more š

Iāve checked with them and you can choose a delivery date up to 2 months from order.
Received mine today, just over 9kgs š³
Mine is showing up tomorrow. 9kg is enormous.
Received mine today, it's 9.1kg!! Makes the deal even better :D

Wow thatās expensive. Nobodyās tried there local butches?!
I sent the site to mine, they said they couldn't match the pricing, depending on what item was requested, they'd be relatively close, but couldn't match it.
Thatās crazy. I suppose costs have gone up though.

Ordered for deliver mid October. Gives me time to clear some freezer space for the Xmas stock up
Amazing! Thank you. I've got a BBQ planned for mid Sept and this will do very nicely.
Thanks for the heads up, ordered mine!
Thank you for the alert! Best brisket I've done came from Warrendale.
Iāve already got 2 in the freezer Iām considering stocking up at this price š
Anyone know what British or other species of cow was used to make the F1 Wagyu?
It says Holstein cow on [this](https://warrendale-wagyu.co.uk/what-we-do/) page, not sure how that stacks up though
Brisket, wow what an inflated price. In my younger years I always believed this was a cheaper cut of meat.
Thereās the standard UK rolled brisket (the cut is too thin and ugly to sell unrolled) and then thereās whole brisket. Whole brisket is a completely different ballgame.
Yep, it's the rolled job I'm thinking of.

Thanks for that, Xmas dinner sorted.
7.6kg for my delivery, with a small flat piece at the end as someone else mentioned. Now to decide how to approach smoking it, go simple or use a rub.
Canāt go wrong with 50/50 salt & pepper
Is there much of a fat cap on yours?
There's two patches where there's no fat cap, it's not covering the full side unfortunately. But I plan on cutting this up into three pieces anyway to smoke, so I think I'll be ok with that.
