In this video, I will show you how to get FREE brisket from Costco. Costco is my favorite place to buy large cuts of meat to break them down and ultimately save a lot of money. A whole brisket contains two main muscle groups. The Flat cut (leaner) and the point cut (Fattier).
My Costco sells briskets 2 ways. The sell Choice Grade Flat cut briskets and whole Prime Grade Briskets. The lower graded and smaller flat cut briskets are more expensive than buying the higher graded whole brisket that is double the size. They are punting on that normal people don’t know how to separate the to muscle groups and therefor saving money. If you buy the whole brisket you are essentially getting the entire point cut brisket for free. The techniques are easy and you don’t need a lot of equipment.
I will also show you how to grind the point cut portion of the brisket an make a true lay delicious brisket burger. These are completely free burgers!!! Follow the procedures in this video and you will be on your way to saving a ton of money at Costco.

Thank you so much for your exceptional knowlegable videos!! 🥩 Im on the carnivore diet and your vids really help out saving TONS of money!!
FYI: Carnviore diet is a great way to get healthy. It's an all meat diet that is a elimintion diet which heals the gut, body, diabetes, lose weght, get off of Rx drugs, heart issues, skin issues etc. It's very easy to shop, prepare & eat.
Here are some good yt ch for more info: Shawn Baker MD podcast, Dr Ken berry, Dr Eckberg, Dr Mindy Pelz, Kelly hogan (she lost 100+ pounds on the carnivore diet!), dante freedom carnviore (he lost 90+ pounds), Nutrition with Judy etc etc.
(it's important to salt your meat on the carnivore diet (electrolytes) and it's takes about two weeks to transition for your bowls but, after that time it's such an easy diet to follow with NO food cravings, no sugar cravings, no carb cravings, ALL feel full too).
Keep up the great work! take care
Do a video on making corned beef at home and ill subscribe :)
Why did you take out all the fat before grinding it?
On the tomato slices, replace regular salt with celery salt. Trust me.
You make this look so easy. Since I’m in a wheelchair, would you be willing to do a video while being in a wheelchair? Believe me!, cooking, slicing meat (even if it is just temporary) while being in a wheelchair is not easy!
I did this today. I bought a 15 lb brisket. After I cut it up, I had two nice flats, 3.5 lbs of ground beef, and 5.5 lbs of fat. We're having brisket burgers for dinner tonight.
Great job. Way to take the info from this video and act on it. Once you start butchering at home it can be addictive. Thanks for watching.
Yes, please.teach us about the difference between prime and choice.
Wait, what about making the corned beef?
Prime has more marbling of fat within the muscle.
@@TheCriticalChris too easy !!
Typically there were 3 retail grades, not including restaurant grades and manufactoring: Prime - best, choice - good, select - run away. As others have said it has a lot to do with fat content. Fat in the muscle tissue is more difficult/costly to produce verse no fat in select. Choice is a good midway point. Often animals are fattened in the last couple months with grain but the short time results in fat on the surfaces and in seams, rather than into the muscle tissue which takes longer. Prime is 8-10% of the normal kill so you have less of it and is more costly to produce. But when supermarkets are getting $10-12 for choice NY strip, the $11.50 for prime at costco yesterday is a bargain. Typically retain prime NY in the $26 lbs range.
For ribeye, t-bone/porterhouse, and NY strip steaks, always try to get prime grade as the flavor/tenderness is more evident when eating it. For most other cuts I just get choice grade as it’s harder to tell the difference in taste/tenderness between Prime grade vs Choice grade.
My favorite steak is ribeye and although I buy the Prime grade ribeye when the price is decent, I’ve bought the Choice grade plenty of times. Because ribeyes have better fat marbling than say NY strip, getting the Choice grade of Ribeye still makes for a great steak.
I vote yes make the prime vs choice video 😎
The awesome value of these videos is understanding how you can re-coup your waste into hamburger meat, etc. Brisket can be difficult to learn, only bc everything cutting is about practice, practice, practice, and brisket doesn't sell great in my area so it took awhile for me to learn and to teach it to people. Like your video shows, don't be afraid to mess up, learn that anatomy, and use your trim effectively!
Look for brisket pieces around St Patrick's Day & later in the summer for BBQ smoking cuts...
I've always bought the entire brisket for over 35 yrs. It just made sense. I don't mind the work to get that extra. GREAT VIDEO!!! P.S. CAST IRON IS THE BEST COOKING VESSEL!
Putting the smoke detector down for a nap was great! 😂
good stuff. I did this recently, the flat only is ridiculously expensive because you pay the butchers hourly costs. But utilizing all parts of the cut is so much more useful and you get SO many useful components!
wow.. great way to save
Preach! You are awesome. People don’t know this stuff anymore and I’m one of those people. And tallow…..YES! Thank you!
I was in costco two weeks ago and kept noticing everyone with giant chunks of meat in their baskets. Turns out it was whole briskets. On an impulse I grabbed one and decided maybe I'd do beef instead of turkey for thanksgiving this year. But I quickly realized I had no idea how to cut this thing or what to do with the different parts. This video helped a ton! I have a blackstone where I do my smashburgers and can't wait to try this as an alternative to regular ground beef.
Maybe Im alone here but that is not what free means, its a better value but its definitely not free.
I am so glad I found your channel, so educational and money saving. Ty
You are so welcome!
I just picked up a whole 20lb brisket at Sam's for $2.69/lb... I almost lost my s**t right there in the store. LOL
love this channel, always learning something new
I love these videos !!!💪🏽
Great videos mang! Got a whole brisket yesterday. Can’t wait to do it up. Thanks 🙏🏼 😊
Wow! Great find!
WONDERFUL thanks dude !!!!
Love this channel and your information
I love this channel. Brad is very informative and his instructions are for everyone and easy to follow
Thanks for the nice comment. I appreciate it more than you know. There is a lot more to come so stay with me.
Thank you for the amazing video!
I wish I had a bigger freezer. When it gets emptier, I am going to buy a whole brisket to be able to make burgers, meatloaf, etc. with it.
I just did this today. Amazing! The burgers were some of the best we’ve ever had and the flat is in the smoker low and slow over night. Thanks!
Too awesome!!! Thank you so much!!! I never thought of it that way!!!
All of your suggestions for future content ideas I’m so interested in WOW!! I’m excited for your future shows!!! ❤❤❤❤
I never realized how much money we can save buy cutting our own meat. I always knew bulk was the key, but for some reason it never
translated over to the meats.
The savings there are actually MUCH better than anywhere else in the entire store.
Incredible!!!!!!!
Another option is to shop at the US Chef stores in every major city. You can get a full brisket for around $3.99 per pound. They have many amazing cuts of meat!
Their briskets are only Choice - although mine will sometimes get certified black angus briskets. A little more expensive, ut worth it in my opinion. A choice certified angus is as good as a prime as far as flavor goes.
Good point sir!@@tonyjsmt
Love your channel
Went to Costco yesterday - followed your instructions and wow! My son-in-law is our “family” smoker! So he’s ready for the flat cut. About to watch your rendering video next. Kitchenaid grind was awesome!
I am so glad you were able to complete this project. Way to take action. Thanks for watching.
I am happy to have found your channel. Good info.
My husband and I have been binge watching your videos! Just subscribed! Can't wait to try this! Thanks Butcher Wizard! 😀
You Rock! Great video. I’m going to Costco today!!!
Thank you for the tips!!
Agree with you on cast iron. I inherited the cast iron that my father got from his mother who was born in the 1890's. Dad always made "meat patties"...that's what he called hamburgers...in the cast iron. Best ever.
I have my great grandmothers cast iron. That’s all I use.
Hey Brad. We would love to see a video comparing prime v choice. Just a heads up, I'm using your video to pump my kids up for Costco trips and BBQing when we're back in the US this summer.
Don’t watch Brad as an example for grading information. Just from this one video I can tell you he’s misleading/lying. A beef carcass has one grade for the entire carcass, and the brisket has absolutely nothing to do with the rating. For backup: I don’t have a YT channel or any ties to any other channel. My father was a rancher and I was previously a federally recognized food inspection specialist. This guy is a click bait scam artist. There are better content creators out there than this scammer.
I just found this channel and I'm stoked. keep the videos comin my dude!!
great job!
Great video, and instruction. I've been learning alot. Love the videos
Thanks for watching
Hahaha love the precautions! So true. SUBSCRIBED
Thanks for watching
Great video, thanks! FYI... I place a shower cap on my kitchen smoke detector when I am cooking something that generates a lot of smoke. It beats having to take down the detector every time. The Dollar store has them.
Thank you!
Dude! Now I have to go to my local Costco and see if that's the same in my area! The title is sort of clickbait but it's the best kind, the kind that actually has GREAT information. Oh, and the burger looks amazing too :)
Could you also do a video only on knives ... types, sharpening, how to... and maybe how to make what knives we have work... and what you would consider absolutely necessary knives we need to purchase.
Yessir!!! Please make more videos. Love your charisma & how educational your videos are. Thank you!
Thanks for watching
knife skills!
Love it!
You had my subscription when you said the word meat and showed us your breakfast! That’s my favorite meal!!! Costco is my favorite store. I love it there. Don’t have to worry about quality. I love saving all my animal fats from cooking. I even make bacon grease chocolate chip cookies with bacon which are amazing!!! I also love hot pot which is lmade with tallow and more meat! ❤ My husband loves it too. Of course for St. Pattys day I got corned beef and cabbage cooking.
** brisket burgers are the freaking best!!! My brother in law made us some once. I love all your ideas to use the brisket!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching. It sounds like you are in the right place. All meat all the time.
Awesome!
Some great ideas for saving money on stuff we enjoy. Thanks!
I was just at Costco yesterday and saw this but wasn’t sure what to do with it. Now I feel pretty confident with being able to follow your instructions 👍🏼 also, gonna give it a go and make my own tallow! I absolutely love naked burgers (no buns or veggies… might have a dill pickle occasionally tho) I could eat burger patties every. single. day. 😂 thanks again! Smiles, Danese
just smoke it all, the part he cut it for burgers is called the fatty part of the brisket and is usually the best. You give the flat to your neighbors.
dude I mean sir - AWESOME THANK YOU great find! Thanks for sharing!!!😍😍😍😍
🥳 for years I love cooking 2 briskets for st patty’s day, cooking the carrots, cabbage, and onion in 1 crockpot, and 2 briskets on another crockpot. I volunteer at a good sized street fair every year (200k) people every weekend. The fancy cot dog guy is my favorite other than the euro guy. I tell the corn dog guy each year to creste a corned beef corn dog, but he refused because he sells out every year with his foot long corn dog.After watching you, I’m going to make my own and have my own st patty’s day corn dogs. 😊
If you liked this video watch this one next. ruclips.net/video/2lQuLhVZZaA/видео.html
Wait, I've seen his videos before and love the lessons and realized I didn't pound that subscribe button. Awesome info!
Best video I’ve seen on brisket. Thank you!
Thank you 🍻 sir!!!
More videos to come. Thanks for watching.
Great to have a video showing all of the grades... Ex-Pat Brit worked in the Meat business but still get my Choice and Prime Mixed up! Old and hard wired LOL
I love your videos and I am so encouraged by learning how to be a better carnivore
Yes make a video about the different grades. I'm tired of arguing with some of the people behind the butcher counter.
I think it all can get confusing. I will do a side by side comparison. Thanks for watching.
@@ButcherWizardwould definitely appreciate your explanation. Please keep up the quality videos
It’s subjective and based entirely on appearance. Beef producers pay extra to have their beef graded so just because something isn’t graded doesn’t mean it isn’t quality beef, and vice versa. It’s best just to learn what to look for yourself - if you are buying from a grocery store and don’t know the source.
@@charlescole7532 when someone is sitting there and telling people they don't want Prime beef because it's the lowest grade? I guess it can be subjective. Meanwhile the driest toughest cuts he's selling as the best quality? Not to mention what it probably tastes like.🤢
Very clever , great video !
Wow! I'm going to have to check this out next COSTCO trip. $4 a pound for beef makes me happy.
Smart buying right there!
Growing up on a farm beef tallow was rendered down and used flooring fries and everything else that people use vegetable oil for
I have definitely fell in love with beef tallow. It is the best. Thanks for watching.
You are good at it.
Great value!
Thanks for watching
This is why I love this channel because he knows meat and only talks meat.
THATS MY KIND OF LANGUAGE.
Oh that burger. That's what I'm talking about. Huge thumbs up👍👍
Love the burger !!!! 🔥❤️😁
Just found you and I subbed! I LOVE brisket but the price of $8+ has stopped me from buying lately...this is great! Thank you. I look forward to more videos!
Here in Canada, our beef is graded from A to AAA, plus commercial at the low end, but even though our ratings are different, I would still appreciate a video on beef grading.
I am a new member today,Iam learning a lot. Thanks
This was great....really great!!! A grading beef video would be interesting too! Cheers Bud!
Enjoyed your video. Going to Costco next week and will pick up a brisket and grind some burgers. Thank you for sharing this.
You’re pretty captivating. Keep it up brother
lol love the putting the detector to bed for a nap😂
Thats Crazy!
After watching this I got a whole brisket (choice) for 3.48 per lb from Wild Fork. I'm about to separate them as he showed in the vid. Hopefully I won't mess it up.
Hope it came out well! I just discovered this channel and it is informing me on more! But trial and error and not all goes to waste if you mess up.
@@mightymorphingmemory6178 It was easier than I thought. That layer of fat between the 2 cuts makes it easier and serves as a guide.
Awesome video and this is why I subscribed...
Awesome, thank you!
Yes on video about grade differences!!
I love videos that show economical stuff like this. Good info
Here at my Costco in Canada the price per lb is the same whether you buy the whole or the flat.
I love your fuzzy math!
I'm starving now! Thanks for the great content
Thanks!
Thank you for watching
loved your video good start brisket was mispelled the rest was good
Def going to costco this week and try this out! Great video!
Great. Thanks for watching.
That joint was well done
Thanks Brad, today (03/19/24) we got a 18.36 lb prime brisket for $78.16, $4.26 a lb at Costco...yummy yummy.
Sadly our Costco changed over to choice for their briskets. I used to always be able get their prime briskets, I guess things are changing in Costco's meat dept.🙁By the way, bought one of the meat grinders you recommended and save money by grinding my brisket meat. Makes delicious hamburger. Love your videos...I am learning a lot on how to save money by cutting and grinding my own beef and pork.Thanks and keep the videos coming
Unlike salt, pepper burns. Consider salting before cooking and adding peepper to taset near the end of the cook or after the cook.
I stopped purchasing ground meat a year ago. I find pre-ground ground meat water logged and flavorless, especially if the ground meat was frozen at purchase. Weird observation--we 'burp up' grocery store ground beef but have no problems with our own grinds. We purchase prime cuts on sale (brisket, chuck steak, tri-tip, leg of lamb) and 'course' grind it ourselves. I prefer one grind--it tastes more like a tender steaky-burger, like eating something of substance with incredible flavor. Sometimes I put a couple of slices of thick cut smokey bacon in the grind for flavor. Grilling is my method of choice, using real wood (any fruit wood or hickory). We grind and grill about 6 to 8 burgers a week for quick meals or 'protein bars' that we eat on the go. Great tip on rendering fats! I 'collect fats' like beef trim, pork trim, duck fat, render them in my 1970's burnt orange crock pot I got from a yard sale. I like having an assortment of fats for cooking. Great channel, fun ideas and yes please teach us about the different cuts.
Great option if that's your thing, but the best part of cooking a whole brisket is enjoying the meat from the point. The flat is usually pretty good, but the point with all that wonderful fat, it's always what the family fights for.
You are AWESOME!!!
Yes do the video on grades please 🙏
A tip.... Take your cast iron pan put it under the broiler in your oven at 400... wait 10 mins... place your (seasoned ) meat in pan.. put a pad of butter on top of the meat place back under broiler.. 5 mins rare.. 6 - 7 med 8+ well.. never flip.. turn off oven.. place cheese on top.. back in oven for a min.. till melted. You're welcome.
I'll definitely give that method a try! Thanks for posting.
Great video.
I've been watching that prime brisket at Costco and now I know what to do with it! thanks!!!
😂 automatic new sub smash button for “Smokey the smoke detector”….OMG…that made me lol. Cheers 🍺🇨🇦
I'm so glad he cut that burger diagonally, like any good sandwich should be.
Bit the bullet and bought a prime brisket from Sam's Club today. 12 lbs of hamburger and 2 lbs of fat in the freezer tonight. I'm anxious to make hamburgers next week. They had sirloin primal cuts as well for really cheap. I think I'm going to get one of those and grind in the fat that I got off of this brisket when I do. Not sure I'm saving money vs buying 80/20 ground beef, but I'm hopeful that this is good ground beef. There was about 2 lbs of waste in sinew type stuff. At least that's what I believe it was.
I've done several pork loins. Made roasts, chops, and ground pork. 2 standing rib roasts cut into steaks, grind pile, rendered tallow, and bone broth. Also a bunch of big chuck roasts ground into hamburger. Good stuff. I bought my grinder about 15 years ago and used it a few times with little success. It's been working over-time the past couple of months. Thanks for the channel.
I feel clickbaited…. Did anyone really NOT know a whole brisket was cheaper per pound than a flat?
Next time you grind for burgers try cutting it in strips not cubes. An old butcher taught me this a long time ago and it's a game changer.
Lol great click bait
