- The flat cut accounts for the majority of the brisket’s weight.
- It’s long and thin, with a thick layer of fat on top, which helps to keep the flesh wet while it’s being prepared for cooking.
- This cut is the greatest for slicing and is most likely what you’ll find in your local grocery or butcher shop.
- It’s also the ideal cut of brisket to use for making Homemade Corned Beef, which you can find here.
