How To Get FREE Brisket at Costco.. And What To Do With It!

6” Boning Knife:

_____________________________________________________________________________________
In this video, I will show you how to get FREE brisket from Costco. Costco is my favorite place to buy large cuts of meat to break them down and ultimately save a lot of money. A whole brisket contains two main muscle groups. The Flat cut (leaner) and the point cut (Fattier).

My Costco sells briskets 2 ways. The sell Choice Grade Flat cut briskets and whole Prime Grade Briskets. The lower graded and smaller flat cut briskets are more expensive than buying the higher graded whole brisket that is double the size. They are punting on that normal people don’t know how to separate the to muscle groups and therefor saving money. If you buy the whole brisket you are essentially getting the entire point cut brisket for free. The techniques are easy and you don’t need a lot of equipment.

I will also show you how to grind the point cut portion of the brisket an make a true lay delicious brisket burger. These are completely free burgers!!! Follow the procedures in this video and you will be on your way to saving a ton of money at Costco.

I did this today. I bought a 15 lb brisket. After I cut it up, I had two nice flats, 3.5 lbs of ground beef, and 5.5 lbs of fat. We're having brisket burgers for dinner tonight.

The awesome value of these videos is understanding how you can re-coup your waste into hamburger meat, etc. Brisket can be difficult to learn, only bc everything cutting is about practice, practice, practice, and brisket doesn't sell great in my area so it took awhile for me to learn and to teach it to people. Like your video shows, don't be afraid to mess up, learn that anatomy, and use your trim effectively!

Maybe Im alone here but that is not what free means, its a better value but its definitely not free.

[kathleenreynolds]

Yes, please.teach us about the difference between prime and choice.

[ericweber]

I vote yes make the prime vs choice video 😎

I've always bought the entire brisket for over 35 yrs. It just made sense. I don't mind the work to get that extra. GREAT VIDEO!!! P.S. CAST IRON IS THE BEST COOKING VESSEL!

good stuff. I did this recently, the flat only is ridiculously expensive because you pay the butchers hourly costs. But utilizing all parts of the cut is so much more useful and you get SO many useful components!

Preach! You are awesome. People don’t know this stuff anymore and I’m one of those people. And tallow…..YES! Thank you!

I was in costco two weeks ago and kept noticing everyone with giant chunks of meat in their baskets. Turns out it was whole briskets. On an impulse I grabbed one and decided maybe I'd do beef instead of turkey for thanksgiving this year. But I quickly realized I had no idea how to cut this thing or what to do with the different parts. This video helped a ton! I have a blackstone where I do my smashburgers and can't wait to try this as an alternative to regular ground beef.

I just picked up a whole 20lb brisket at Sam's for $2.69/lb... I almost lost my s**t right there in the store. LOL

Putting the smoke detector down for a nap was great! 😂

[brandonwaddell]

I feel clickbaited…. Did anyone really NOT know a whole brisket was cheaper per pound than a flat?

[vaprepper]

I just did this today. Amazing! The burgers were some of the best we’ve ever had and the flat is in the smoker low and slow over night. Thanks!

Could you also do a video only on knives ... types, sharpening, how to... and maybe how to make what knives we have work... and what you would consider absolutely necessary knives we need to purchase.

Another option is to shop at the US Chef stores in every major city. You can get a full brisket for around $3.99 per pound. They have many amazing cuts of meat!

I never realized how much money we can save buy cutting our own meat. I always knew bulk was the key, but for some reason it never
translated over to the meats.

The savings there are actually MUCH better than anywhere else in the entire store.

Great video, thanks! FYI... I place a shower cap on my kitchen smoke detector when I am cooking something that generates a lot of smoke. It beats having to take down the detector every time. The Dollar store has them.

Agree with you on cast iron. I inherited the cast iron that my father got from his mother who was born in the 1890's. Dad always made "meat patties"...that's what he called hamburgers...in the cast iron. Best ever.

You had my subscription when you said the word meat and showed us your breakfast! That’s my favorite meal!!! Costco is my favorite store. I love it there. Don’t have to worry about quality. I love saving all my animal fats from cooking. I even make bacon grease chocolate chip cookies with bacon which are amazing!!! I also love hot pot which is lmade with tallow and more meat! ❤ My husband loves it too. Of course for St. Pattys day I got corned beef and cabbage cooking.
** brisket burgers are the freaking best!!! My brother in law made us some once. I love all your ideas to use the brisket!! Thanks!

Yes make a video about the different grades. I'm tired of arguing with some of the people behind the butcher counter.
