Beef Brisket Recipes
 The
brisket comes from the shank or upper leg portion of the cow.
A whole brisket can weigh 12 pounds
or more, so butchers generally cut them in half to
sell. One half is called the first or flat cut
and the other half is called the second or point cut.
The point cut is thicker and can be more tender.
 I think
the best method for cooking a brisket
is braising. The meat contains a lot of connective
tissue. Long, slow
cooking is the key to turning any tough piece of beef into a
tender,
extraordinarily flavorful dish.
