Brisket is a cut from the front leg of the cow. It’s the largest muscle in the steer and contains a good deal of fat. This is why brisket is such a popular choice for barbecue. Brisket is usually cooked low and slow for hours until tender. It’s not uncommon for briskets to take anywhere between 8 to 12 hours to cook. For many people, brisket is the ultimate comfort food.

Why It Matters

Brisket is a tough cut of meat. It takes a long time to cook properly because it needs to be cooked slowly and evenly. Most people prefer to eat brisket after it has been smoked. Smoking helps break down connective tissue and gives the meat a smoky flavor. Brisket comes in different cuts. Beef brisket is the flat part of the brisket. It’s the leanest part of the brisket and is used for making corned beef. Pork brisket is the top round of the brisket. This is the fattiest part of the brisket but still very tasty. Brisket is also sometimes referred to as Kansas City style. This refers to the way the meat is prepared. In Kansas City, the brisket is rubbed with salt, pepper, and spices and then wrapped in foil. Then it’s placed in a smoker. This process creates a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat.
