National Brisket Day is an annual celebration and is feasted on May 28th of every year. Those who prefer eating beef would have known about the brisket. It is an inexpensive cut of meat that is one of the nine primal cuts of beef. In general, the brisket is a tougher cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of the beef or veal. It usually requires slow cooking either via indirect heat or braised. National Brisket Day celebrates deliciously cooked briskets. Treat your taste buds with the good brisket to celebrate this Feast Day more enjoyable.

“When you have a Jewish mother who has a very strong Jewish family, it’s very ethnic in its practices. Eating brisket, the food and the family and the interconnectedness for better or worse.” – Goldie

History of National Brisket Day

The National Brisket Day’s history and origin are unknown. There isn’t any mention of the creator of this Day and its first observance too in anywhere. However, the Day celebrates the Brisket, the meat of beef from its breast or lower chest. It is one among the nine beef primal cuts whose precise definition of the cut varies internationally. The Brisket Day encourages all of us to explore this cut and the taste it has to offer us. The brisket muscles include both the superficial and deep pectorals. The cooking of the Brisket can be done in many ways, like baking, boiling, and roasting. However, cooking brisket to tenderness at any of the methods needs some patience. Thus it needs to be slow-cooked for a long time.

Brisket will be cooked on the fat side up, usually, the fat will drip off and keeps the meat moist. On the whole, it will add flavour to the final product. On seasoning it well, the meat will get a dark sear which will seal in the juices. Preparation of brisket has hundreds of variations that include the use of various hardwoods during the grilling process resulting in a nice smokey flavour. At times, oak, pecan, hickory, or mesquite will be added along with other hardwoods as a way to enhance its flavour. When it is fully cooked, the Brisket will be fork-tender and can be eaten with or without a sauce. The brisket is braised like a roast in the Jewish culture.
