To store a cooked brisket, allow it to cool to room temperature, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent air exposure. Place the wrapped brisket in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the brisket, ensuring it's well-wrapped to avoid freezer burn, where it can last for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat gently.
The brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of an animal (every animal has a brisket, although the term is most often used to refer to beef). The tri-tip comes from the bottom sirloin portion, and is a small triangular muscle. There are very few similarities between the two - brisket needs to be marinated and slow-cooked to enjoy it's full flavor without chewing on shoe-leather, and tri-tip is much leaner, usually used for roasts or steaks, and is always boneless.
Marinated chicken can typically stay in the fridge for 1-2 days before it needs to be cooked to ensure food safety.
Marinated steak can typically stay in the fridge for 2-3 days before it needs to be cooked to ensure freshness and safety.
A 45-pound brisket typically yields about 30-35% of its weight in cooked meat after trimming and cooking. This means you can expect approximately 13 to 16 pounds of cooked brisket. As a general guideline, cooked brisket serves about 0.5 pounds per person, so a 45-pound brisket can feed approximately 26 to 32 people, depending on portion sizes and whether other dishes are served.
To serve 700 people, you'll typically need about 0.5 pounds of cooked brisket per person, which accounts for shrinkage during cooking. This means you'll require approximately 350 pounds of cooked brisket. Since brisket loses about 30% of its weight during cooking, you'll need about 500 pounds of raw brisket to yield the desired amount.
