About Beef, brisket, whole, separable lean only, all grades, raw
Brisket comes from the lower chest of the cow, a hard-working muscle laced with connective tissue. That makes it tough when cooked quickly, but transformed into something rich and tender when cooked low and slow — which is why it is the cut behind Texas barbecue, Jewish pot roast, pho and corned beef.
Trimmed to lean, brisket is about 155 calories per 100 grams raw, with plenty of protein, iron, zinc, selenium and B12. Untrimmed, it carries a thick fat cap that bastes the meat during long cooking and accounts for much of its flavor; the calorie figure rises sharply when that fat is left on.
The secret to brisket is time and low heat: hours of smoking, braising or simmering melt the connective collagen into gelatin, leaving the meat fork-tender. Cut quickly or undercooked, the same piece is chewy and disappointing.
