CONS

Brisket can be a tricky cut of meat to cook, requiring a lot of time and patience to get just right.

It also requires a good amount of skill and experience with barbecue techniques, so this may not be the best recipe for beginners.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While brisket is not the leanest cut of meat, it is packed with protein and other essential nutrients such as iron and zinc.
The slow-cooking process also breaks down the collagen in the meat, making it easier to digest and more bioavailable. However, it’s important to enjoy this meat in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

	1 flat-cut beef brisket
