Brisket Flat

4lb Brisket Flat

A brisket flat is a lean, boneless cut from the lower portion of the brisket, located on the chest of the cow. It is the thinner and more uniform section of the whole brisket, typically separated from the point (the fattier part) during butchering. The brisket flat has a relatively low fat content compared to the point, but still contains enough marbling to remain flavorful when cooked slowly. It is most commonly used for smoking, braising, or slow roasting, where the long cooking process helps break down the muscle fibers and results in tender, juicy meat. Brisket flat is popular for making classic dishes like smoked brisket or corned beef.
