00:00All right, so I'm going to show you how to turn this into ground beef to make some of the best burgers you've ever had.
00:04Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against store-bought ground beef.
00:06I mean, I use it for my videos all the time.
00:08And I'm sure a lot of you have noticed that brisket's gone way up in price recently,
00:10but I still got this for $4.98 a pound, and it's going to make a ground beef that's so much better than anything you can buy in the store.
00:15And because we're turning this into ground beef, we're really not going to do much trimming.
00:18We're just going to cut it into smaller pieces so we can put it into the meat grinder.
00:20You're going to want to aim for about 1-inch cubes.
00:22That's going to make it the easiest to grind and get you the most consistent result.
00:24Now, we're going to run all the beef through on a larger grind first, and because we're going to double grind it,
00:28we're going to switch it over to a little bit of a smaller grind for the second pass.
00:31And as you can see, after we got through grinding all 14 pounds of that brisket,
00:34we're left with the perfect ground beef for smash burgers.
00:36And when you compare it to the ground beef we got from the grocery store, this is just much more vibrant.
00:40I mean, the stuff from the store is good, it's going to taste fine, but it just has that little bit of a dull color to it.
00:44And I know a lot of people grind up chuck when they're making ground beef,
00:46but that's going to usually land you a little closer to 80-20.
00:48That's why I love grinding up brisket.
00:49When you grind up a whole untrimmed brisket, you usually land pretty close to 75-25.
00:53And after we let that cheese melt for just a few minutes,
00:55we're going to stack these up so we can put this burger together.
01:02The crust and flavor you get on this when you use ground brisket is insane.
