Five Food Finds about Brisket

  • Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal.
  • The beef brisket is one of the eight beef primal cuts.
  • The brisket muscles include the superficial and deep pectorals.
  • As cattle do not have collar bones, these muscles support about 60% of the body weight of standing/moving cattle.
  • This requires a significant amount of connective tissue, so the resulting meat must be cooked correctly to tenderize the connective tissue.
