What actually is brisket?

And where you can buy it in Oz - by Lottie Dalziel
  • 07 Oct 2019
What actually is brisket?

Q: What is brisket called in Australia?

When it comes to brisket in Australia we don’t overcomplicate things and keep it just as it is. It generally refers to three cuts of meat: the whole brisket (or breast), the lean point cut and the navel cut. You can buy a brisket cut of beef, veal and lamb in Australia and sometimes buffalo.

...

What is brisket and how is it cooked?

Brisket is the breast section of the animal, it is a well-exercised muscle so has plenty of connective tissue which is why the best way to cook it is slowly so it falls apart with a fork creating that melt in your mouth sensation. 
...

Where to buy?

Brisket is generally one of the cheaper cuts of meat you’ll find, weighing up to 9kg you generally buy it halves either the navel end (fattier cut) or the point end. You can pick up brisket from your local butcher with prices generally ranging between $13.00 and $27.00 a kilo. 

What is it known for?

There's not a whole lot of information around about where brisket originates from but it is the core ingredient in a variety of dishes, for example:
  • Romanian pastrami
  • Vietnamese beef pho
  • British pot roast
  • Texan BBQ Brisket
