Brisket Burnt Ends

Burnt Ends 3

This unusual dish of brisket burnt ends uses just the point of the brisket, not the whole cut. Ask your local butcher to prepare the point, without any trimming.

The story generally goes that originally burnt ends were off-cuts of cooked full briskets that happened when preparing the sandwiches, these being edges were heavily smoked and seasoned, originally handed to those waiting for their food, people soon started ordering them and burnt ends were born.

Now cooked to order burnt ends have a lot higher smoke and seasoning ratio than most other smoked meats. They also tend to be fattier and this gives the sort after melt-in-the-mouth feeling that goes with the explosion of flavor.
