can this brisket be saved?!

[rhams21]

I worked very hard to make a delicious brisket last night, my first, only to realize this morning that I cut it WITH the grain, rather than against. I am so upset with myself and bereft that I ruined the special dinner I've planned for this eve. Is there any way to salvage very chew, cut with the grain brisket (even if it means cutting it up or doing something else to it to tenderize), or do I need to start thinking about roasting a chicken?

I, too, would pull it apart and then chop up any long strands. Mixed with the gravy it will still taste good, and my kids love it over noodles. But to be honest, I'm not sure I would serve it to company...

Yes, continue to pull it apart. When you reheat it, put it in the pan with the gravy, cover, and reheat in a 325 degree oven, or lower. It should be fine. It won't be slices.
My mom always intoned, "cut the brisket on the bias". Now, you can hear that in your head next time!

May you can salvage it as pulled brisket. Cutting the long strands against the grain should yield some like pull meat
