Derek Wolf puts whisky inside the brisket
Four new recipes range from smoked salmon jerky to pulled pork sliders with a spicy peach glaze.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Whisky Injected Brisket with Pendleton Whisky (Recipe In Description)
A culinary syringe gives Derek Wolf's brisket its whisky before the meat ever reaches the smoker. He trims, injects and seasons it, then adds another touch of whisky in a beef-broth spritz during cooking. When the meat reaches the stall, butcher paper and beef tallow take over.
That brisket was the most watched of four new uploads on Over The Fire Cooking by Derek Wolf, reaching about 76,000 views. Derek opens with his wife's verdict that it is his most tender brisket yet, and credits the whisky injection. Viewers have their own contribution: a small naming workshop, offering combinations of whisky and brisket alongside a James Bond-style serving joke.
The freshest recipe, "Spicy Peach Pulled Pork Sliders Recipe (In Description)", is drawing the most daily views on the channel right now. Canned peaches, chipotle hot sauce and cider vinegar become a glaze layered with pulled pork, white cheddar and crispy onions in potato rolls. It is a substantial little sandwich, even before the extra dipping sauce.
"Steak and Cheese is amazing!" and "Smoked Salmon Jerky Recipe (In Description)" complete the week's menu. The salmon takes a sweet-hot soy marinade followed by a honey-barbecue glaze. Meanwhile, the earlier lamb chops with bone marrow and mint chimichurri remain the channel's next-busiest upload after the sliders.
The channel added roughly 2.4 million views while its subscriber count held steady. Daily viewing is currently well below its usual level, though its weekly view gain remains substantial among nearby food channels. ShoPhoCho had a much larger week; Brian Lagerstrom is enjoying an especially busy daily audience. For Derek, the new sliders are supplying the freshest momentum.
