Beef Brisket
Tender and juicy, beef brisket offers a deep, beefy flavor that rewards slow cooking with its mouthwatering tenderness. Its marbled texture creates a succulent experience with each bite.
Where it comes from
Brisket has roots in Jewish cuisine, particularly in traditional brisket dishes served during holidays, showcasing the importance of communal meals.
In the kitchen
It excels in braising and smoking methods, making it a favorite for barbecue and hearty stews, where its flavors develop beautifully.
Across cuisines
Beef brisket is the Montreal smoked meat cut — dry-cured for ten days in a peppery garlic-coriander rub, then cold-smoked over hardwood, then steamed for service. Sliced thick by hand and piled onto rye bread with yellow mustard. Schwartz's on Boulevard Saint-Laurent has been doing this since 1928; the recipe hasn't drifted.
