How to Cut Off Brisket Flaps
Brisket is a cut of beef taken from the lower chest of the cow. Brisket is a tough meat with a lot of fat. For brisket meat to become tender enough to eat, it must be cooked for a long time. When cooking a brisket, many people remove the flap. The flap is a long piece of fatty meat connected to the underside of the brisket. The flap meat is edible, but is usually removed to make the brisket more appealing to the eye. There is only one flap on a brisket. Does this Spark an idea?
