Brisket is a tough cut of meat, but this toughness can be counteracted with long, slow cooking which gives the chance for the abundance of connective tissue to break down and gelatinize into a rich, tender meat.
You can cook beef brisket in many different ways, but the best method is to cook it low and slow. For example, try braising or smoking it at a low temperature for 8 to 12 hours. If braised in a vegetable stew, the meat should cook for at least three hours to absorb liquid from the vegetables and break down collagen fibers in the meat.
The size of the brisket varies (approx. 2.5-4.5 lb). Please indicate if you would like a smaller or larger piece.
