The brisket is cut from the chuck, or front shoulder, primal. It is a heavily used muscle with good marbling and a nice layer of fat on top. The meat can be tough, but not if it is cooked with patience!
Brisket needs a low and slow cook to become juicy and tender. It is delicious smoked for several hours or braised with beef stock and onions. Veal brisket is smaller than beef brisket which means it will cook more quickly. For an even faster meal, the Instant Pot is a brisket game changer. Incredible flavor can be achieved in a quarter of the time! Once the brisket is fully cooked, be sure to cut it into slices against the grain to serve.
Each Plumb Rocky Farm veal brisket weighs roughly just under two pounds which is enough to feed four to six people.
** Rose veal comes from Jersey cows raised on pasture alongside their mothers so that they eat a diet of milk and grass. The meat has beautiful yellow fat and marbling, and a rich, almost red color. Our veal is tender and incredibly flavorful. **
