Brisket into jerky?!?!?!?

[wkahler]

Well found the half brisket that was left over from the cow you got butchered.  I was going to smoke it but i am in need to make some more jerky out of it, if that's possible?  I think its an OK piece of meat for it but wanted to check if there is any issues as fare as chewy or to stringy!!  I normally go to Kroger's and get rump roast on clearance and have the deli people cut it into 1/4-1/8 thickness and it makes great jerky, but thought i might as well use what i got!

Yup

Brisket jerky is good  ;D

Words from the king himself LOL!!!!

Brisket will definitely make jerky.  Were it me I would slice against the grain to alleviate the stringiness somewhat.

Do they charge to slice it up for you?

Brisket makes some fine jerky. Only pain was trimming the fat >:(

[wkahler]

Yeah sliced it against the grain and going to let it soak for 3-4 days or whenever i get time to smoke it!  Seem to slice OK left it partially frozen to make it a little easier to cut.  Didn't want to haul the meat slicer out just to have to spend as much time cleaning it back up!

They don't charge to slice the rump roast at the grocery, just look at you a little funny!  I have 2 local shops that would probable not think it was funny but the people at Kroger's don't really have any idea what to do with some of the meat that they sell!
