BBQ Beef Brisket Cutting 101

[GadarianDigital]

great stuff. Thanks! My butcher used to put cut marks on the brisket before I started cooking just to make sure I knew which direction to cut in after it was done cooking.

When cutting a whole brisket (nose & flat pieces together yet) make sure that you separate the two pieces. When you pre-trim it on the meat side where their that triangle shaped fatty area, this is where you will start to separate the two pieces. Just follow that seem just cutting as needed. The two pieces should kinda fall apart when standing on its side. Now look what direction each piece's grain runs. Look at the difference on how to cut each one.
