To achieve a tender brisket, the cut, which consists of the flat and point, should be cooked together as a whole packer brisket. Chef Matt Abdoo emphasizes smoking at 250 degrees and wrapping the brisket in butcher paper at the stall temperature of around 160 degrees. This technique not only accelerates cooking but also results in a juicy brisket due to the fat from the point keeping the lean flat moist. A low and slow cooking approach is essential for both cuts, whether utilized together or separately.
Cook the point and flat together as what's known as a whole packer brisket; smoking at 250 degrees and wrapping it helps create a juicy brisket.
The fat from the point keeps the lean flat moist, leading to a juicier result, whether cooking them together or separately.
Both cuts of brisket require a low and slow approach, whether in an oven, smoker, or in a pot, for optimal tenderness.
How rigorously the area is used during the animal's lifespan dictates whether the cut will be tough or tender—we achieve tenderness with the right cooking technique.
