8 Beef brisket Recipes From 7 Cuisines.

A tough slab from the cow's chest that only becomes great after hours of low heat. The grain runs in two directions and the fat cap sits on one side, so trimming and slicing across the grain matter as much as the cooking itself. It underpins Texas barbecue, Jewish braised brisket, Vietnamese pho broth and Irish corned beef. Buy it whole rather than pre-sliced, and never rush it: brisket pulled from the pot early is chewy and dry, not tender.
