Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal. The beef brisket is one of the nine beef primal cuts, though the precise definition of the cut differs internationally. 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.
The picture shows an untrimmed, Prime Grade beef brisket at about 20 pounds. A brisket like this runs about 120.00 and is a realy quality cut of beef.. A beef brisket is composed of two parts, the flat and the point. The flat section is on the right in the picture. The Point is on the left, and may have hard sections of fat on it. You will want to trim those out.. The fat on top of the brisket is called the fat cap and should be white.
