Brisket recipes

A cut of beef taken from just below the shoulder along the length of the chest/breast. It’s a fairly firm cut, so it’s inexpensive, and benefits from long, slow cooking. Sold on the bone, or boned and rolled, it’s often cooked in one piece. Delicious pot roasted, poached or braised and used in casseroles or stews.
