Braised Flat Cut Beef Brisket

Braised Flat Cut Beef Brisket

EverydayCooked

Braised flat cut beef brisket is a flavorful, slow-cooked cut from the cow’s lower chest, prized for its tender texture when prepared with moist heat. The flat cut’s leaner profile compared to the point cut requires prolonged braising to break down its collagen into gelatin, resulting in succulent meat with concentrated savory notes. This preparation method balances moderate fat content with high protein, making it a centerpiece in dishes like Jewish-style pot roast or Texas barbecue.
