Brisket

Brisket is a large, flavorful cut of beef that comes from the chest or breast of the cow. It consists of two main muscles: the flat (leaner) and the point (more marbled and fattier). Known for its tough texture, brisket becomes incredibly tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow, allowing the connective tissues to break down and the rich marbling to melt into the meat.

Brisket is famous for its role in barbecuing, where it’s smoked for hours until it develops a tender, smoky crust and a juicy, melt-in-your-mouth interior. It’s also commonly braised, used in corned beef, or slow-cooked for hearty dishes like pot roast. Average Weight is 10lbs.
