Beef brisket is a flavorful cut of meat derived from the breast or lower chest of beef cattle. Known for its rich, tender texture when slow-cooked, it holds a prominent place in cuisines like American barbecue, Jewish delicacies such as corned beef, and even Korean dishes like bulgogi. Brisket is high in protein and provides essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy production and immune function. However, it also tends to be high in saturated fat, especially when prepared with heavy marinades or fatty cuts, which can impact heart health if consumed excessively. Cooking methods like smoking, braising, or slow-roasting can enhance its flavor while controlling added fats. For a balanced approach, opt for leaner portions and pair it with nutrient-rich sides like vegetables or whole grains for a well-rounded meal.
