What is Brisket?

Brisket is a fatty tough cut of meat found under the first 5 ribs. It is used to make corned beef, pastrami and silver-side. It also makes a wonderful slow cooked meat dish and can be found in practically every good BBQ joint. Brisket is typically sold in two different cuts: flat and point. Go for the flat cut if they have it because the thick fat cap will aid in giving more flavor to your brisket. 

Serve with Spanish Rice and Schmaltz-Refried Pinto Beans. Here are some other good accompaniments for this recipe homemade Classic Mexican Guacamole, Mexican Salsa, Mexican Pickled Carrots and some Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars for dessert.
