Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal. It is normally a tough cut of meat because the brisket is the muscle area that supports about 60% of the weight of the animal. In order to tenderize this meat and needs to be cooked slow through baking, or roasting. Basting it often also helps keep the meat nice and moist.
I've taken into account that a 4 pound beef brisket which is 64 ounces will shrink about 25% so that leave you with about 48 ounces. For 8 people that is 6 ounces per serving. This recipe was first published in April 2019 and updated with video in February 2021.
