Angus Beef Brisket

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Beef brisket is a boneless cut from the breast section, the underside of the forequarter. Available as a fresh cut, it is best prepared by using braising or stewing techniques.  Brisket is also processed into corned beef, a technique that brines the meat.  Corned beef is also prepared using most-heat cookery.

There are several cuts of brisket available, including whole brisket; point half/point cut brisket, flat half/flat cut and middle cut. The point half is sometimes also called thick cut. The flat half, often referred to as first cut is less fatty and is often the most popular for making braised beef brisket. All the cuts have a layer of fat that can be trimmed, but adds to the flavor and tenderness of the final cooked dish.

Know Your Beef and How to Cook It

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Thanks to America’s beef producers, there are beef choices to satisfy all tastes, schedules and budgets.  Don’t let choosing the right cut become confusing. This helpful chart can serve as your guide to find the best cut for your needs, whether it’s a weeknight family dinner or a special celebration. Above all, matching the correct beef cut to the appropriate cooking method is the key to moist, tender and flavorful beef.

 Ground Beef  

 Fresh ground beef may vary in color during its shelf life. If exposed to oxygen through the permeable plastic wrapping, a package of ground beef may appear bright red on the surface, while the interior remains purplish-red. With extended exposure to oxygen, beef’s cherry-red color will take on a brown color.

These color changes are normal, and the ground beef remains perfectly wholesome and safe to eat if purchased by the “sell by” date on the package label.
