Whole Brisket

Dry-aged trimmed whole brisket.

Whole beef brisket is a popular cut of meat that is often associated with barbecue and slow cooking methods. It comes from the breast or lower chest of the cow and is known for its rich flavor and tenderness when cooked properly. A whole brisket is typically divided into two parts: the flat and the point. The flat is leaner and more uniform, making it ideal for slicing, while the point is fattier and often used for making burnt ends. To achieve the best results, brisket is often cooked low and slow, either smoked, braised, or roasted, allowing the connective tissues to break down and resulting in a juicy, flavorful dish. Seasoning it with a dry rub or marinating it beforehand can enhance its taste. Whether you're preparing it for a family gathering or a backyard barbecue, a whole beef brisket is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
