Partially cooked.
They pressure wash that area with steam at the slaughterhouse/processing plant.
It’s fine to leave on and won’t harm anything.

That looks awful, but I’m absolutely no expert.

Ever heard of trimming?

That machine used to vac seal the roast cooked the outer layer, it’s fine.

Nothing wrong here my man, just a exposure to a higher temperature really. Could have been steam or an issue with packing. Cook away.

Is it aged?

I’m sure people here know a lot better than me but that looks like old dead rhinoceros meat

It’s actually caused by the vacuum packing machine due to the heat when it seals the cryo pack. Just trim it off.

First time I’ve seen elephant brisket. Let me know how it tastes.

Froze hit?

Freezer burnt to shit? Or somehow precooked on that edge?

I thought that this was something they do full packer briskets with heat. Anyway, just trim off any dry looking meat, silver skin and deckle fat.

Was it in a cryo vac pack? it might possibly be from sitting on the heating plate too long causing it to get partially cooked

Looks like a close up of rfk jrs face.

It all looks bad. I wouldn’t touch it

Almost every packer cut brisket I’ve ever seen has a section like that on the side. Sometimes there are sections elsewhere on the outside like yours. It’s totally fine, just cut it off.

Ain’t none of that looks fit to eat. Probably wouldn’t even give it to the dog

Just cut it off and carry on. This is on more briskets than it’s not.

When they seal meat in those airtight bags they use steam so any of the gray parts is just where the steam hit the meat. Just trim it off

Fat cap looks like it’s got some craters too would be worth carving into that a little

Super common in cryo packing, not just on brisket, but on a lot of packed meat. Meat cutters can remove or hide that in cut pieces, but whole brisket isn’t opened so it can’t be trimmed off. It’s harmless, and I wouldn’t even bother cutting it off.

In a pack house, After the bag of meat is vacuumed and sealed, it is fed into a shrink tunnel that puts hot water over it to shrink the bag snugly around the meat. Sometimes the water is too hot and scalds the meat inside the bag. This is what might have happened here.

This is not cow. You are eating elephant.
Trim it off and get to cooking!
