Brisket (Extra Large - 8.35 lbs)

The key to cooking a great brisket is long, slow cooking over low, moist heat.  Brisket has bold, beefy flavor that makes this roast a favorite to many.  It also has a lot of connective tissue which can render this cut of meat tough if it is handled carelessly.  The flip side of connective tissue is that when given time and a mellow cooking environment, these collagen-rich strands relax and release their magic throughout the brisket, adding richness and even more flavor
