WHERE'S THE BEEF?

The Flat & Point

Brisket is a cut of meat from the lower chest of the cattle. The brisket muscle supports about 60% of the body weight of cattle so there is a large amount of connective tissue. This means a longer cook time is important to break down the tissue to create a more tender bite.

The beef brisket subprimal is made up of two muscles, the flat and the point. The flat is typically leaner than the point, which has more fat. However, both of the muscles are separated by a layer of fat.
