About Brisket

Brisket is a cut of beef from the lower chest. It is commonly cooked slowly by braising, smoking or roasting, methods that give its connective tissue time to soften; it is also sold cured or corned in some forms.

The cut has visible muscle grain and may include a layer of fat, with leanness varying by trimming and by whether it is cut from the flat or point. When cooked slowly it can become tender and savoury, while the raw cut is firm. It is sold whole or portioned.
