Beef Brisket

So we bought a 1/2 of a cow. Grass Fed. Fabulous. Along with some great roasts, steaks and hamburger meat, came some large briskets. Here is an easy way to prepare a brisket that will leave you with plenty of leftovers!

1 brisket: 3-10 pounds 

Oven bag

Rub: This is for a brisket that weighs 8 pounds

6 teaspoons black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees

2. Prepare rub by combining all above spices

3. Sprinkle brisket with rub and press to adhere

4. Place brisket in oven bag.

5. Cook according to weight, about 1.5 hours per pound:

- 3-4 pound brisket: 6 hours

- 5-7 pound brisket: 11 hours

- 8-10 pound brisket: 14 hours

6. Allow brisket to rest 30 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Cally Vinz's Ribs

This is an easy recipe and makes alot of meat - great for meal prep! Thanks to Cally Vinz for the idea!

At the urging of Cally Vinz, we bought the 3 pack of pork ribs from Sams Club. It was around $25, and has so far lasted us 4 days- great for a quick dinner or lunch, and even breakfast!

Ingredients:
1 - 3 pack of pork ribs
tin foil
Spice rub:
1 Tablespoon of the following: seasoned salt (I love the Pele's fire seasoned salt from Aloha Spice), black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper. This makes enough rub for the 3 racks of ribs.

Directions:

Sprinkle spice rub on both sides of ribs and rub in. Wrap each rack of ribs in foil (so no steam can get out) and place on a baking sheet. Place in oven and cook for 3.5 hours at 300 degrees. Then open them each up, and put back in the oven for about 30 minutes to dry them out a bit.

For storage, cut into 3-4 rib sections and place in tupperware.
