brisket
Pitmaster's prized cut
Brisket is a cut of beef from the breast or lower chest of the animal.
The meat is tough with significant connective tissue, making it ideal for slow cooking methods—braising, smoking, or pot roasting.
In American barbecue, smoked brisket is a centerpiece: We waited three hours for brisket at that Austin joint.
In Jewish cuisine, braised brisket is traditional for holidays.
