And here I am deciding how to prep this top round.

REALLY low, REALLY slow.

So based on other comments here, the delicious recipe for brisket is:

  1. Bathe the brisket in copious brine.
  2. Place in an oven on low heat on timer for 300 years.
  3. Ensure that during this time the brisket is pounded by gamma radiation continuously.

The radiation improves the flavour.

And preserves the meat!

If it's still edible 300 years later, he used too much salt.

That's actually an ancient roman roast recipe: cover it in salt in a crock, put some honey on the slices after. Quite tasty.

It could be that radiation would kill anything that would otherwise decompose the meat.

It would still dry out and oxidize.

and maybe burned all the oxygen so it couldn't rancidify?

Or the oven didn't turn off and the aliens really enjoy briquette.

Priorities lmao

Or perfect timing, depending on which species you are.
