The beef brisket is a very large cut that is incredibly popular with meat smokers, and a firm favourite amongst the BBQ community, especially in the US. A whole beef Brisket has a covering of fat on one side which packs bags of flavour, which is released into the beef as the fat renders during cooking.
Whether you’re prepping for the ultimate summer barbecue or opting to cook in the oven, finding whole beef Brisket online has never been easier.
Including the likes of Wagyu Brisket, Tom HIxson's Irish Wagyu Beef Brisket, USDA CHOICE Brisket and Spanish Beef Brisket joints, our selection of Briskets features a vast range of origins that each house their own unique flavours and textures to make every cut special. As the Brisket’s covering of fat melts and renders into the beef during cooking, there is a brilliant marbling, similar to that found in Ribeye steak, making it extremely flavoursome and textured.
Well known for offering only the most premium quality beef, Tom Hixson of Smithfield has been able to provide both experience and expertise over the years thanks to Tom Hixson of Smithfield’s seventy years of work.

If you’re cooking your Brisket in the oven, it will typically take around 3 to 4 hours on medium to low heat. A slow cooker takes around 10 to 12 hours of cooking on low heat or 5 to 6 hours when using a high heat setting. You may choose to cook your Brisket on the stovetop in a large skillet pan with a lid covering the joint, which will take around 3 hours, or until tender.
Beef Brisket should be cooked until an internal temperature of 70º C, which should be measured using a meat thermometer for the most accuracy. If the beef is cooked to a higher internal temperature than this, you may risk drying it out. A good indication of beef Brisket being cooked to perfection is if it easily pulls apart with a fork.
You can freeze our delicious beef brisket both before and after you have cooked it, however, you have to ensure that the brisket is wrapped airtight before freezing. If the meat was cooked before freezing, make sure it is properly thawed and reheated to at least 75º C before consuming.

The best way to ensure your Brisket is tender and juicy is to prepare it in a slow cooker. Brisket can be a tough cut of meat, but preparing it in the slow cooker helps the connective tissue to break down, resulting in beautifully tender meat.
If you are grilling your beef Brisket for your family and friends at a summer BBQ, we’d recommend serving the meat with buttery corn on the cob, and grilled vegetable skewers with baby tomatoes, and chunks of red onion, pepper, and courgette. A tangy coleslaw can work well when catering for a crowd, alongside a fresh summer salad.
Use the leftover brisket by making delicious pulled pork, combined with Sauce Shop BBQ Sauce for even more flavour. Add this to a sandwich or salad for an easy midweek lunch or dinner.
