This recipe provides a simple method for separating the point from the flat on a whole brisket, allowing for more controlled cooking and enhanced flavor. The separated cuts can be seasoned and smoked individually for a delicious barbecue experience.
Ingredients: 1 whole brisket. 1 sharp knife. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Ensure the brisket is fully thawed if frozen. Place the brisket on a clean surface with the fat side facing up. Using a sharp knife, locate the thick fat layer that separates the point and the flat. Carefully insert the knife parallel to the brisket, just above the fat layer. Gently separate the point from the flat by following the natural seam between the two muscles. Continue separating until you can lift the point away from the flat. Trim any excess fat or connective tissue as desired. Season both the point and flat with salt and pepper or your preferred brisket rub. Prepare your smoker for the next step based on your preferred cooking method.
