Brisket. How much stink is too much stink?

[Treeshark]

So we are cooking a brisket for some out of town guests who have come in from Munich Germany. The sale by date was 5/23 . When I opened it up to start preparing the brisket, It had a little bit of a stink to it. I dried it off put mustard on it for a binder and seasoned it up. It wasn’t horrible but it didn’t smell like a fresh brisket. What are your thoughts? I don’t want to leave a bad taste in the Germans mouths! Lol

I’m assuming that it was frozen? Year in the fridge I’d say no lol if frozen I bet your ok. Buy another and cook both, this way you’re good either and freeze the leftovers. Not there to smell it so that is my advice

I would go get another brisket for the germans & my dogs would be loving the addition to their grub.

When you figure this out, let me know:

How much mold on bread is too much mold

How much ammonia smell on fish is too much

Whats the maximum time acceptable for roadkill

Answer: Not enough.

I’ve had a couple of briskets that you could smell a little over the years when removing from that vacuum pack. Usually only when you got your face close to it though, if it ever happened while on the counter and I was standing up I wouldn’t chance it.

Pork is another story. If I can smell much of anything at all when I open it, that gets trashed. Hard lesson learned and it was not fun at all.

I’ve opened thousands of cry o vacked pieces of beef. Normal to have a little funk when you open it but should go away after a while . Rinse with water will help. If it is funky smelling after an hour enough to still bother you , I wouldn’t cook it.

Beef that comes out of a Cryovac bag has an odor to it. It has been happening since they started vacuum sealing meat in plastic bags. It has to air out a bit, then it smells fine. I had a meat salesman tell me about this probably twenty to twenty five years ago. I don't remember what brought the subject up, but he was talking about an old German gal, Margaret Heinen, who owned Western Sky Steak house in San Angelo. He was the meat salesman and she was the customer and was trying to tell him that they were selling her spoiled meat.
