Pan-fried some fresh mushrooms and added frozen peppers and onions. Then I mixed in a pound of thinly sliced rib eye, some shredded mozzarella, and let it all marinate overnight with a half-can of cream soda.
Today, I heated up two XXL tortillas, stir-fried the mix over high heat until it began to caramelize, and added it to the tortillas.
Next, I added reduced-sodium bacon bits and French-fried onion bits, along with some Kraft Chipotle Aioli, then folded the tortillas and grilled them until the shells were golden brown.
It was a nice meal, but a lot of work for the effort.

Today is national Brisket Day. I hope you all have your smokers loaded up for dinner tonight.

I have tried smoking briskets three times and have failed on all three attempts. I am the master of the smoked pork butt and smoked turkey, but brisket is an art that I have not figured out yet.

I'm not a fan of the brisket that I've had, but I'll admit I've never tried great brisket. For those who enjoy it, have a great Brisket Day.

Scrambled up some cheese and eggs, and added in some of the mushrooms/onions/peppers/ rib eye. Once heated, they were added to a tortilla for a nice breakfast burrito.
It's bizarre that some think this isn't a healthy meal.

If I get a chance, I'll find some pastrami.
May the cards fall in your favor.

It is healthy for normal weight adults, but it is not on a weight loss plan. Delete the cheese, delete the tortilla, and delete 90% of the eggs and steak.

No pastrami.
Still, gotta love a halal convenience store with bacon sandwiches, a beer cave, and slot machines.

Do you not like pastrami, or are you avoiding it for health reasons? I love a great hot pastrami sandwich from a good deli.

No place I stopped had any today.
I think pastrami is one of the ideal preparations of brisket.

3000 calories a day on his weight loss program is not easy to maintain. It takes constant attention to calories calories calories That's where you get the most weight loss. Snicker

There is only one good way to make brisket, and you will rarely see it in a restaurant, or anywhere.

You slow cook it in a Crock Pot, in water and a little bit of vinegar, for 12-24 hours. Then that disgusting shell of fat on it, as well as all visible fat, will peel right off, and you throw it away. That is the part of a brisket that was thrown to dogs and beggars, not for human consumption. But restaurants will mix that all back in with the meat and expect you not to notice. I'd puke all over the floor if I ate that.

Then when you have a large piece of perfectly lean meat, you use two sturdy forks and pull the meat apart until it is the form of fibers and small strips. And it's done! Eat it any way you want and with anything you want.

Brisket needs smoke.

Good grief how old are you. Gasoline has not been called high test since the 1950s. It started in the 1920s when they gravity tested gas and the higher testing gasoline had more octane so they called it high test. In the 1950s you pull up to the pump and the attendant would say regular or high test. But soon after that they started calling it Premium which is the same thing
