The inspiration for many a noble sandwich, beef brisket is a cut that demands very little in return for all it gives.
Our richly-marbled brisket self-bastes during slow cooking, creating a spectacular Sunday or holiday roast.
But why stop there? If you're looking for a fun cooking project, get into the brine. Think corned beef.
Or smoke the brisket on the grill, for Texas-style barbecue. Be sure to massage with a good spice rub and let the beef sit tight overnight.
A sandwich piled high with pastrami is the next logical step. Be sure you have mustard in the house.

Just imagine if you could raise a steer from birth on the grass in your own back yard, and then feed it locally-grown alfalfa hay, barley and corn for a few months. You could guarantee it never got any animal by-products in the feed, nor any hormones or antibiotics. Well, that’s exactly what our ranchers do –but in a 10,000-acre backyard in the Northwest.
This group of conscientious cattle ranchers formed a cooperative to focus on humane care for the animals, and the highest quality finished product.
Their Black Angus cattle range over pasture land for most of their lives, and are then rounded up and fed a supplement of alfalfa hay, barley and corn for a few months in a spacious, dry, low-stress feeding facility, before processing (usually at about 2 years of age). The 100% vegetarian feed is supplemented with vitamin E and A which helps strengthen natural immunities.
To the ranchers, humane treatment is of paramount importance, so every care is taken, even in transporting the cattle short distances. They know exactly where each animal comes from, and can track them from birth to processing, all of which takes place in the great Northwest. Each animal comes with an affidavit that proves that the rancher followed the strict natural protocols of the cooperative.
