One of my suppliers who cooks about 5-10 competitions a year brought me some of his brisket today. It was Wagu beef and came from a brisket that placed 11th out of about 100. He asked for my opinion. I thought you might find it interesting. The meat was sliced in 1/4" strips and had the obligatory "stretch" to it. The smoke ring was very pronounced and about 1/8" deep. He had trimmed all the fat before presentation. I was expecting a special, smokey, flavor with the rub and injection flavors in the background. My first impression when I bit into it was, he has copied my mother's pot roast recipe. I got little if any flavor other than the beef. The tenderness was lacking as it took some tearing to get a bite. I tasted no smoke at all and no spices from a rub. Mostly it confirmed what I have said when people ask if I cook in competition, I don't cook to, nor appreciate, the standards of competition style cooking. What are your opinions and experiences?
