food and juicy

We buy several a month and it is great always. There is sometimes an issue with packaging being damaged in store which prevents me from being able to purchase more than I'd like. For instance, I wanted to get 4 whole briskets my last trip but out of 6, 2 were great, 2 were damaged but still out and 2 were just not that great quality. Overall my experience is typically great when purchasing them.

The brisket is fine, I have two in my freezer that I paid less than $100 (total, and yes they are prime too) for early this year. Now they are $100 a piece? Is this Wagyu? How is a $100 brisket a deal? I thought prices were going down on day one. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

I thought I was buying a pre-trimmed brisket. But it was at least 1/2 fat. I have photos to show it. I plan on going into to the store when I have time to show the manager just how bad it was. The whole center portion was hidden and it was a huge piece of solid fat.

Very decent beef, perfect for stew. Personally I cannot handle the amount of fat and have some trouble digesting it, which is a sign of it not the freshest-- only reason to slash one star. But it's tasty although it's pretty tough to chew. Great for the price.

This brisket was marked prime by the meat man but it was Select at best. Worse brisket I have ever bought from any store. When I looked in the meat case the only whole brisket were Select. I asked the meat man if they had Prime Brisket. I could see through the meat counter window.. He went to the back and brought out an unlabeled brisket that he had the machine print out a label. It took him a while to get it to print out a label. It did say Prime but was poorly shaped for a Prime. When I trimmed it for the 4th, it looked like a Select. It smoked like a Select never really reaching probe tender. I do not think this was an intentional mislabel. I strongly believe the meat man thought it was a Prime brisket.

FATTY!!! I’ve been making Briskets for Over 25 Years and NEVER have I gotta a BAD ONE till Now!! I’ve Paid A Lot Less for Them then this and they’ve All Been Great!! After ordering and ordering this it Finally came in and we were so Happy!! Everyone has been begging me to make one. Imagine How UPSET I was when I opened this and it was ALL FAT!!! I’m Not Talking A Little! It weighed Almost 15 Lbs and It Had to have Almost 14 lbs of FAT!!! Never will I order something without Seeing It First!!!

I trimmed the meat side a bit, leaving the main fat cap alone. Smoked 17 hours, fat cap up, until the stall at 165° I.T. wrapped and continued low and slow for another 4 hours. Pulled at 205° I.T. and packed in an insulated cooler for 2 hours. Flavor and tenderness were perfect. The fat cap rendered well, leaving only a small layer. I'm buying another one this week to do for friends.

USDA meats are the main we reason we began shopping at Sam’s Club. The reason we enjoy shopping are the prices and employees. The prime brisket is a great value and always turns out great on the smoker. The quality of the marbling and fresheners is always spot on .

The Brisket I bought had 5 lbs of FAT on it. I trimmed it off before I cooked it. I left 1/4 inch of fat on the brisket for flavor. I took pictures and kept the fat if you would like to see. On a 14 lb brisket I ended up with 6.5lbs of meat after cooking. I usually expect about 40/45%loss due to fat.
