Personally, I think the point is probably the best part of the brisket. Mainly because of the fat. It adds SO much flavour during cooking and keeps the meat beautifully juicy. Especially with this USDA Prime cut, you really can't go wrong. I'd give it plenty of time on the smoker, without making things too complicated. A good rub, some smoke and then just leave it alone. The beauty of a cut like this is that you really don't need much. The quality of the meat does most of the work. You just have to keep an eye on the temperature ;-)

Half Brisket (Point Cut) Black Angus USDA Prime

This half brisket from Black Angus USDA Prime is a real treat for BBQ lovers. We're talking specifically about the point cut, the fattier part of the brisket that's known for being juicier and richer in flavour. That makes it perfect for low and slow cooking on the smoker or kamado, where the meat gets hours to become incredibly tender. Thanks to its beautiful marbling, the meat stays nice and juicy throughout the long cooking process. USDA Prime is also the highest quality grade for American beef. A fantastic piece of meat that, with a little patience, turns into something pretty special.

What is a half brisket point cut?

Brisket comes from the breast of the cow and consists of two muscles: the flat and the point. The flat is relatively lean, while the point contains more fat. And that fat is exactly what makes this cut so interesting for the BBQ. During slow cooking, much of the fat renders, keeping the meat wonderfully juicy and adding plenty of flavour. The point is also the ultimate cut for making burnt ends. But it's just as delicious sliced or roughly pulled apart. Keep in mind that brisket comes from a hardworking muscle with quite a bit of connective tissue. So quickly throwing it on the grill isn't an option. This cut needs time to become tender.

Black Angus USDA Prime

American Black Angus beef is known for its beautiful marbling and rich beef flavour. The cattle graze on vast pastures and receive plant based feed such as grass, corn and grains. Farmers follow the Non Hormone Treated Cattle guidelines, meaning the animals are not given growth hormones, preventive antibiotics or animal derived feed ingredients. After all, good beef starts with taking proper care of the animals. And you can taste the difference. Black Angus beef has fine marbling throughout the meat, contributing to its tender texture and rich flavour. This brisket also carries the USDA Prime classification, the highest quality grade within the American beef grading system.
