Changing it up this year – corned beef for Thanksgiving:
Brining 4.5 days instead of the recommended 6-7 as I had a bad experience brining a pork loin for more than a day. Also, used 1/4 cup less salt, and adjusted spices because this is a 2.5 pound brisket, not 8 or 10 pounds. Recipe after the jump.

One of the great things about this dish is you can pound and marinate the steaks even the day before, refrigerate them, and cook them tableside the next day. Bon appetit!
