    My partner and I have had these a few times. They're surprisingly decent. Nice and tender and the sauce goes well with it. Although the serving size is quite small. It's apparently meant to serve four. And it was just enough for the two of us.

      Agree, although 700g should be enough fir more than two, it isn’t as it is quite moarish. Moar!
      At eight dollars hard to justify buying a roast to cook yourself.

      Beef (82%)

      • Willyslicks on 07/06/2021 - 19:13

        brisket should contain ~30% proteins https://www.nutritionvalue.org/Beef_brisket%2C_cooked_nutrit…. This clocks in at ~17% so 50% sauce is not off the mark by much.

        • wallawallabingbang on 07/06/2021 - 19:44
          +1

          I coudln't find an Australian listing for brisket but USDA and NCCDB have listings for cooked brisket including fat at 22-25 grams of protein which would be in line with the ammount of beef listed on the product.

        • team teri on 07/06/2021 - 19:50
          +12

          Interesting. Thanks for the info, I learned something.

          Brisket meat, when raw, contains only 21% protein. To get to 30% after cooking it has to lose a lot of water, which then joins the 14% BBQ sauce, and brings up the sauce content of the final product to over 40%.

          In numbers: they started with 574g of meat (82% of 700g), and 126g of other ingredients (mostly BBQ sauce). After cooking only 402g of cooked meat are left and the sauce comes to 298g. Explains why someone said it is enough to feed 2 people, but not 4.

          Double checking: 30% of 402g are 120g protein, which is 17% of the 700g total.

      • wallawallabingbang on 07/06/2021 - 19:31
        +1

        82% of the "Seasoned & Marinated Austrlian Beef" which iteself is 86%. So beef is 70% (82% x 86%).

        • team teri on 07/06/2021 - 19:57

          In theory it could work that way, but regulations make sure percentages of key ingredients are actually stated based on the overall total. See here for an explanation.

          • jebdra on 08/06/2021 - 09:59

            @team teri: There is nothing in that link that says percentages within a compound ingredient are relative to the total.

            There are 2 ingredients in this package

            Seasoned & Marinated Australian Beef - no percentage stated. A compound ingredient that is 82% beef and 18% other ingredients.

            Bourbon Flavoured BBQ Sauce - stated as being 14%.

            I think it's reasonable to assume that the compound ingredient "Seasoned & Marinated Australian Beef " is 86%.

            • team teri on 08/06/2021 - 10:35

              @jebdra:

              Most packaged foods have to carry labels which show the percentage of the key or characterising ingredients or components in the food. This allows you to compare similar products.

              Pretty clear to me. Key ingredients are Beef Brisket and Bourbon Flavoured BBQ Sauce. They have to show the percentage in the food, not in the component. How else would comparisons to similar products be valid?

      It's delicious. Corned beef is made from a brisket cut as well. The key is slow cooking.

    • TEER3X on 17/06/2021 - 19:12

      You just haven't had good brisket

      Try Franklin BBQ in Austin

      • Dentshop on 18/06/2021 - 19:46

        Nonsense. It is a poor substitute for sirloin or even rump. Why waste your time. Not going to Austin for bbq. If that's what it takes to enjoy brisket that says it all.

        • TEER3X on 18/06/2021 - 20:15
          +1

          You can make it yourself too. There's a handful of local places that do ok, but Franklin bbq is just the gold standard.

          It's just takes a very long time to cook because of all the intramuscular fat (cooking low and slow converts the collagen to gelatin). You won't get a more tender piece of beef if done right.

          Other than being beef, it's not comparable to those other cuts at all, you have it all wrong I'm afraid.

          A brisket done really well is infinitely better than what Woolworths offers, which is still good, but not spectacular.

          • the discombobulated… on 18/06/2021 - 21:41

            @TEER3X: All fair points but having to go to Austin for it just kills it as a deal. ;)

          • Dentshop on 19/06/2021 - 21:52

            @TEER3X: Correct, it's not comparable because sirloin and rump are good cuts - brisket is not. The end.

            • the discombobulated… on 19/06/2021 - 22:34

              @Dentshop: It may not be a good cut but given proper cooking it can be a great result.

              • Dentshop on 19/06/2021 - 22:37

                @the discombobulated panda: Not great. If it were great, people would pay for it at top restaurants. They don't. My original point was that it was an okay cut, nothing great and all those who say otherwise are phonies.

                • the discombobulated… on 19/06/2021 - 22:41

                  @Dentshop: A sirloin can be great in minutes. A brisket can be great in hours. That's what you pay for.

                  You can have a sirloin steak but not a brisket steak. That's also what you pay for.

                  That said you can have a curry or a stew involving both but the mount of time and technique differs.

                  If you don't have the time to achieve a great result for what you want with it with the cheaper cut you'll pay more to save the time needed to get something edible.

                  • Dentshop on 19/06/2021 - 23:08

                    @the discombobulated panda: That's just cope. Brisket is NO cheaper than better cuts. If it were, shit would make sense. There are no cheap cuts anymore in Australia. Even bland mince is $12 a kilo. Corned beef is whack and us pumped full of brine for way too much.

    Coles version is 800g and has much less fat, so there's significantly more to consume…. Except it's pretty terrible imo.

    The Woolworths ones are much better, not as good as a good American bbq joint, but at $8, it's a steal.

    Well, in the end the edible beef for me was 360g (460g if you count the fat) + the sauce packet.

    Would never pay $16 for this but for $8, given the effort you save it's a good enough meal for two I think. Just.

    In my case that was beef+coleslaw (kaleslaw from Aldi and coleslaw dressing from Coles - competition ftw :) ) burgers. I only used half the sauce packet and that was borderline too sweet. Had I used it whole I'd've regretted it.

    One thing: take care not to let the plastic touch metal. For me it stuck to the tin.

    As it stands, no regrets. Pull it out of the packet, poke it, bake it, eat it. For around $5-$6 all up have meal. Simple.

    • Yola on 16/06/2021 - 18:50

      Sounds like you got a bad one, it's hit or miss really.

      I've bought them at $12 before, and I think that's a fair price.

      $16 is a bit much for sure.

        Sounds like you got a bad one, it's hit or miss really.

        Nah. It was fine but $8 should be the normal price IMO. I can't see myself paying $12 and $16 is a laugh.
