Trimming a Brisket

Trimming a brisket involves removing the excess fat and silver skin, which can lead to a tough and chewy result if left on the meat. Below are the steps to follow to trim your brisket:

3. Trim the fat cap to around ¼ inch.
4. Now flip the brisket over and trim any excess fat off the bottom of the brisket.

This process should leave you with a leaner piece of meat. Once trimmed, don’t forget to pat the brisket dry with paper towels.

Injecting the Brisket
