Brisket

Brisket

Brisket is a cut of meat from the chest of the cow, because it is comprised of a lot of connective tissue it is considered to be quite tough and therefore needs to be cooked for a long time to get it to be mouthwatering and tender. In North America there are three main ways of preparing brisket; soaked in a brine then cooked like for corned beef, braised in the oven in a flavorful sauce, as many a Jewish grandmother has made, or smoked low and slow like you can find in BBQ joints. Food & Wine has a wonderful article about the brisket’s journey from Passover Seders to Texas barbecue pits.
