Salt Cured Beef Brisket
Description
Inspired by American traditions of butchery, our Salt Cured Beef Brisket boasts the stand out flavour that makes it a New York favourite, and is a must for deep sandwiches with the salty taste matching particularly well with gherkins. Made using dry-aged heritage breed beef, and then cured by our Master Butcher this is a year-round favourite for exquisite beefy taste.
How to cook
Simmer in lots of water with aromatic herbs and vegetables for 2 ½ hours or until tender. The saltiness of the beef matches well with gherkins, though this Jewish favourite can also be broken up, mixed with mashed potato, and fried into hash. Try also shredding the beef into home style corned beef, and serving with a few boiled potatoes and vibrant salsa verde.
About the cut
Salt Cured Brisket
This is British contemporary butchery at its best, though made using American style techniques increasingly being used by artisan butchers. The brisket itself is sourced from free range herds, before being cured with a traditional wet brine devised with the help of our Development Chef to yield the most intense flavours over the course of ten days.
About the breed
Heritage
we'll choose from our selection of available breeds
It's good to eat and enjoy heritage breed meat from British breeds, showing farmers that there is a market for their herds and flocks and encourage them to rear them. Without a demand for their meat, many breeds would die out altogether. When intensive farming reigned unchallenged in the second half of the last century, many of our traditional breeds all but disappeared because they don't take kindly to factory farming. We want to change this and help more people realise that we need to safeguard the natural biodiversity of our farm animals and to demand meat with intrinsic flavour that comes from higher welfare systems. All of our meat fits that bill perfectly.
