Brisket is also the most popular cut for corned beef. We carry corned beef too.

Beef Brisket

 

Our Fresh brisket is an inexpensive boneless cut that requires long, slow cooking,  to achieve tenderness. Brisket can be cooked many ways. Popular methods in the U.S. Southern States include smoking and marinating the meat and cooking slowly.  Additional basting of the meat is often done during the cooking process. The brisket is almost always placed with the fat on top so that it slowly dissolves down into the meat as it cooks, resulting in a more juicy and tender meat. We sell the   flat cut and the point cut. The flat cut is leaner, but the point cut has more flavor due to a bit of extra fat (called the deckel). Yes brisket is one of the least tender cuts of beef, but it can be made tender and the flavor is tough to beat  with the right method of cooking .

The whole brisket you'll buy at Jim's is called the "beef brisket, boneless."  The inside lean surface is practically free of fat and the point and outer side carry's more fat and marbling.

The deep pectoral muscle (the "inside lean surface") is commonly referred to as the brisket flat, while the supraspinatus muscle is commonly known as the brisket point.
 

Brisket is the most common cut used for corned beef, although other cuts can also be used. Corned beef is beef that is cured in a salt brine, often with spices. Here at Jim's we always carry a full line of the above briskets.
