What is Packer's Brisket?

Packer's Brisket is a large cut from the lower chest of cattle. It is known for its connective tissue and fat content, which break down beautifully during low and slow cooking methods. This cut includes flat and point, balancing lean meat and rich, flavorful fat. Famous for smoking and slow-roasting, it's a staple in American barbecue culture.

Key Features:

• Packer Style: "Packer style" refers to a whole, untrimmed brisket that includes both the point and flat portions, along with the fat cap. This cut is usually shipped as-is from the meat packer (hence the name) without significant trimming of the fat or muscle. It weighs more than a trimmed brisket because it retains the full-fat cap, which is essential for maintaining moisture during long, slow cooking processes like smoking or braising.

  In the context of barbecue and slow cooking, pitmasters prefer the "packer style" brisket because the fat helps to keep the meat juicy and flavorful. The point is fattier and more tender, while the flat is leaner and still benefits from the cooking process.

• Premium American Beef: Our Packer’s Brisket is sourced from high-quality American cattle, ensuring robust flavor and tender results.

• Ideal for Smoking & Slow Cooking: This cut is perfect for low and slow methods, such as smoking, braising, or roasting, delivering melt-in-your-mouth texture.
• Rich, Bold Flavor: The marbling and fat content in the brisket offer a deep, beefy taste enhanced through slow cooking.

Cooking Tips:

Season generously with a dry rub or marinade for the best results, then cook low and slow at 225°F–250°F for several hours. Brisket benefits from a long cooking process to break down its connective tissue and develop its signature tenderness. Wrap in foil or butcher paper halfway through the cook to retain moisture, and let it rest before slicing. Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or on a sandwich with pickles for a classic experience.
