That is exactly the topic I am writing to you about; lean beef. Decided to prepare a brisket for Christmas because my new hubbys' son has just let us know he will be coming to visit his dad for the holidays. We bought 1/8 share of an organic grass fed beef. Very good for you...but soooooo lean! It's really a challenge to me cooking beef with no marbling at all. This brisket is over 5 pounds and I am hoping you can give me advice on how to get it to be tender and moist. Any help is much appreciated.

Add lots of fat, lol

Wrapping stuff with bacon is a good way to go with this.

Not a big fan of bacon wrapped beef. I think I'm just gonna slow cook it for about 7 hours with aromatic Vegs and stock.

I should have been more clear. Wrapping lean meat is a good way to add fat content. However I would slow roast yours. Basics, carrot celery onion potatoes, basil thyme parsley. if you have a good smoker though.....
