The phrase "get a rope" comes to mind.

Flame bait. And believe it or not, I ain't bitin'.

Actually, so long as they didn't call it barbecue brisket, I'm fine with it. Don't get me wrong -- it doesn't sound very tasty to me at all. But braising a brisket is a not-uncommon cooking technique.

Brisket is just a cheap cut of fatty meat. If you want to cook it like a semi-pot roast, more power to you. I wouldn't be looking forward to that meal, but honestly, that recipe just doesn't sound tasty no matter what cut of beef you use.

You thought I was going to be more outraged, didn't you?

I stopped reading at "defat brisket"

and then of course I've heard of cooking brisket with fish sauce.

Man, y'all are too harsh. Ever had corned beef made with brisket? For crying out loud, that's a brisket (often trimmed of some fat) that's BRINED/PICKLED, then BOILED. And it's good stuff.

T'ain't barbecue, but then again, there ARE other things to do with meat other than smoking it. So long as you don't slather a brisket in kc masterpiece and bake it for 3 hours and call it barbecue, I'm fine if you do what you want to do.

If the "defat brisket" part came before a recipe for smoking it -- well then, I'da had to go medieval on somebody. But it didn't. So, no harm, no foul. If you want to braise a brisket, have at it.

And if you want to make a corned beef brisket, invite me over for some.

Ah, Brisketexan, the voice of reason.

What that is - a roast. As long as they dont claim it to be BBQ, I wont bring out the flame throwers.

BBQ Man Law - Never trust anyone who "defats".

A friend of mine does BBQ catering. He puts nothing on his briskets. It is awesome.
