Although it is one of the least expensive cuts of beef, brisket can be one of the tastiest if properly prepared. To avoid a tough final product, use cooking methods that are low in temperature and long in cooking time. Braising is a good procedure for brisket.
Most corned beef is made from a slow simmering of marinated brisket.
Smoked brisket makes a wonderful barbecue entree when paired with a spice rub and finishing sauce.
