5 Reasons to Love BBQ Brisket
Of the many things to love about BBQ brisket is the experience of making it. The low and slow method works wonders to create a succulent brisket. For even more reasons to try making BBQ brisket at home or ordering the BBQ Brisket Steakburger at the Freddy’s near you, check out this list!
The Flavor: Whether from the smoke of different types of wood, the seasonings or the choice of BBQ sauce, the smell of BBQ brisket may get your mouth watering even before you actually get to taste it. It’s also the flavor of the meat itself, the darkened exterior or bark, and the rendered fat that can contribute to the depth of flavor and the incredible texture.
The Health Benefits: While the fat in brisket contributes to its flavor, brisket is also a good source of protein and vitamin B12 in addition to other nutrients. If you are accounting for any health considerations in planning your upcoming BBQ brisket meal, the detailed evaluation at Nutrivore of how different cuts, sources and other characteristics of beef brisket contribute to its overall nutrition may be of interest!
The Versatility: BBQ brisket can be the star or a co-star of a meal (as our BBQ Brisket Steakburger illustrates) or even a supporting character. In combining these two popular dishes – the steakburger and BBQ brisket – at Freddy’s, our guests can enjoy a savory selection that’s packed with flavor, while simultaneously enjoying two popular meat preparations at the same time! Beyond steakburgers and sandwiches, BBQ brisket can be appreciated on its own or in a variety of different dishes. From omelettes to quesadillas to pizza, BBQ brisket is a tasty choice for a wide range of dishes and any meal of the day.
The Preparations: As our preparation for the BBQ Brisket Steakburger illustrates, cooking BBQ brisket typically takes many hours. It can be done inside or outside, perhaps even serving as the focal point for a special occasion like a summer gathering with friends. Inside, you might try slow-cooking your brisket in the oven, as explained in this recipe from House of Nash Eats, or in a slow cooker, as described at RecipeTin Eats. If you prefer outdoor cooking for your BBQ brisket or in general, consider using a smoker as per this recipe from Hey Grill, Hey or the grill, as shared at Bon Appétit. As with cooking anything new, it may take a few tries and some troubleshooting to achieve the perfect BBQ brisket. However, once you get the hang of it, making BBQ brisket may become one of your staples or a popular request from your loved ones!
The Leftovers: Yet another reason to love BBQ brisket is that it can be frozen for later use. Sometimes, it is just so delicious that it gets eaten even before making it into a dish or onto the plate. However, if you do have some left over, The Spruce Eats offers some storage and freezing tips for different brisket preparations. When you find yourself with a lot of leftover brisket (or intentionally plan for those extras), consider freezing it in smaller portions. Then, if you want to make a sandwich or any other dish on the fly, you can thaw exactly the right amount for it!
Despite the fact that making it is generally a time-consuming (and sometimes challenging) process, the final BBQ brisket can be worth it! If you are craving BBQ brisket today and don’t want to do the cooking yourself, then your local Freddy’s is here to help. Whether you prefer a BBQ Brisket Steakburger to enjoy on its own or as part of a combo meal, you don’t want to miss this limited-time meal option or the Freddy’s Rewards you can earn with each order!
