brisket
n. C1 Advanced US //ˈbɹɪskət// UK //bɹˈɪskɪt// brisket
n. a cut of meat from the front of a cow's chest. It is very tough and needs to be cooked slowly to become tender.
n. a cut of beef from the pectoral muscles of the cow, located in the chest area. Characterised by high collagen content, it requires slow cooking to achieve tenderness.
We bought a large piece of brisket for the barbecue.
The chef prepared the brisket in a slow cooker for eight hours to ensure it was perfectly tender.
While many cuts of beef are best seared and finished quickly, the brisket demands a long, low-temperature braising process to break down its connective tissues.
