Whole Brisket (Packer Style) | 100% Grass Fed & Grass Finished
This is a high quality grass fed brisket you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else. But it is "packer style", meaning you will have to do some trimming and cleaning, but this is EXACTLY what you want if you are planning on doing a proper brisket.
This is the kind of brisket you take to a competition (and a lot of our customers do). It has beautiful marbling, has been wet aged for 30 days and is just great!
Cooking a brisket can be a lot of fun but it takes time. It's not for everyone as it requires timing and patience. You need to be serious about smoking throughout and take it off at the right moment. Remember, low and slow is best. The payoff is worth it and the results can be so rewarding.
Our Packer Style briskets have been featured in Food & Wine!
ABOUT OUR 100% GRASS FED / FINISHED PROGRAM?
We have partnered with one of the MOST exclusive programs in the US to produce 100% Grass Fed and 100% Grass Finished beef. This is American beef, traceable to a SINGLE FARM in Nebraska, owned by Niman Ranch.
This is important information as there is little traceability to most grass fed programs and the terms "Grass Fed" and "Grass Finished" are NOT regulated by any government entity. So having the ability to partner with a known brand such as Niman Ranch was important for us (Curious? Read More on our BLOG).
The single source farm used for the grass fed & finished program is located in Nebraska and has tapped into their existing Niman Ranch herd to found the genetic pool for this program.
All protocols already in place for Niman Ranch Beef will continue to be used for both programs:
- Certified Humane
- Sustainably Raised
- No antibiotics, added hormones, or steroids
This program is very exclusive, harvesting only 40 cattle bi-weekly. It is NOT found in any retailers and is fully traceable from farm to plate. This is a truly unique program with exclusivity and protection put in place to protect its distribution partners and create enough supply for those who have access to it.
WHY IS OUR GRASS FED BETTER?
- An overwhelming majority of grass fed beef is imported into the US, specifically from countries that do not have the same quality standards or dining preferences as our domestic restaurants (South America, England, Australia, etc.). This program was built for high end steakhouses.
- Most grass fed programs do not focus on marbling, taste, and texture – they simply raise product without grain so that may advertise it as grass fed. Our Grass fed program was designed to yield the best tasting steak, with a focus on marbling, taste and texture.
- Few, if any, grass fed programs are also breed specific – most programs are a mix of breeds without any requirements on genetic makeup of the program or consistency from one animal to the next. The key to our grass fed program is genetics, these animals have been specifically selected.
- There is a complete and total lack of restaurant quality grass fed and finished angus beef in the US and most consumers have resigned themselves to eating low quality grass fed beef because there is no alternative. Now we have the alternative.
LOOKING FOR A SMALLER BRISKET?
Briskets don't get smaller than 13 lbs (and that's a rare and small one!). If you are used to buying and cooking smaller briskets, perhaps what you are looking for is for a Brisket Flat as these do run 6-10 lbs in size and are very good! Check them out here.
