Brisket is over rated? Sacrilege.
But the dude was from Austin, so what do you expect.
As for cooking it correctly, there are lots of ways to do it, but you can always tell when it was done wrong, because they put sauce on it.
If you have to put sauce on a brisket, you messed it up.
Properly done brisket is an art and a science. I got to teach my son how to cook a 12 pounder. Most important ingredient is patience.
rib steak is the epitome of the best cuts of beef...
but I also love 7 blade chuck roast for pot roast....slow cooked either on the stove or in the oven, just a wonderful taste with wonderful drippings for gravy...
petite stks get a bad rap but if done properly, they're okay too....
