American Style Beef Packer Brisket For Low & Slow Cooks:
As we have all seen the American people are world leaders when it comes to cooking on the barbeque as they have the perfect weather & a massive selection of cattle to choose from that are very similar in size & shape. One of the hardest cooks to get right for a beginner is the Full Beef Packer Brisket & what makes it even more difficult in Europe is finding the right cuts, the right quality & definitely the right price!
Many of the barbeque meat cuts that we see cooked in America are in stores everywhere over there because this is what everyone has grown up with over the years & the demand has been there for many years.
In the UK & Europe finding the right Barbeque meat cuts is hard because the demand is currently much smaller, but, many people are now trying to copy the American barbeque Recipes with meat found at home in local butchers, supermarkets & online butchers. So, the demand for Barbeque cuts is increasing but the willingness of people who will produce these cuts is not meeting this demand, this is where Sherwood Foods is now becoming a more popular place to shop for barbeque meat cuts.
We have had our meat cuts used in competitions at the highest level in the UK & Europe with many top ten results & a few wins, so this proves that with the right methods, recipes & skills…. you’ll make great BBQ at home with this brisket & other cuts.
Down in the South of Ireland our expert butchers have created our Beef Packer Brisket to save our customers time & money when buying a Brisket of Beef online. They have cut this as a 5 bone brisket & left the top of the brisket on, they have removed much of the excess fat around the top point, the underneath of the Brisket Flat has had the majority of the underneath decal fat & gristle removed. We have left on a certain amount of the “Fat Cap” as this helps to keep the piece moist during those long cooks.
There is inter-muscular fat in the grass-fed beef but not as much as grain-fed beef, this is mainly up at the point end where the Packer Beef Brisket is thicker. The internal fat helps to keep the piece moist during the long cooks, it also increases the flavour of the Grass-Fed Beef. Once you have your Beef Brisket at home & are making final preparations for your cook, you can then decide how far you want to trim your Brisket?! Some people like to really trim them back to make them very lean, many prefer our specification & trim very little off after.
There are many places where you can buy Brisket of Beef, but not many that will offer the right cut & not over trimmed. Most supermarkets are looking to appeal to their customers with very lean beef as it would appear better in the packets. Good beef has to have a certain amount of fat in or on the meat to help it remain moist & give the extra flavour, this is very true of Grass-fed steers & heifer cattle.
The Beef packer Brisket comes from the chest area & would be the same as a “Bone-in Breast of Lamb” without the long boneless flap section on it. The size of our Briskets range from 4-9 kilos depending on the size of the cattle. We keep to one grade of cattle when cutting our Briskets, but there is a fluctuation in size & have separated them for you to choose which size suits, also this gives a fairer deal when buying Brisket online.
As well as making a great BBQ meat, our Briskets are ideal when you want to make salt beef for delicious thick slices for lunch or the classic salt beef bagels. The Beef packer Brisket is terrific to roll into an “oven buster” joint for a slow oven cook to give a really tender braising joint.
At Sherwood Foods we believe in giving value for money without sacrificing quality or specification. When it comes to a Sherwood Beef Packer Brisket you get minimal waste, a good-sized piece from top-grade beef with the right fat confirmation that has been competitively priced. Having all the inner decal fat removed allows for the seasonings to penetrate the meat.
We have created this for the Outdoor BBQ enthusiasts that enjoy American style meat cuts cooking them “low n’ Slow”.
A very popular piece that makes delicious tender slices full of smokey flavour with an excellent bark on the outside or for the amazing “Brisket Burnt Ends”.
Our Irish Grass-Fed beef enjoys some of the best green pastures that Ireland has to offer, with the higher than average rainfall there is never a shortage of lush grass for them to enjoy. We have excellent stock to choose from here with access to large numbers that gives us a wonderful opportunity to create our consistent “restaurant quality” tasty products.
Our select Irish Beef is a wonderful source of protein, vitamins & minerals that help towards a balanced diet. We vacuum seal the Sherwood Beef Packer Brisket immediately when produced to ensure that you get all the natural flavour & moisture locked into your piece to give you the best results possible. The clear recyclable vacuum pouches are helping to reduce our carbon footprint by our customers recycling responsibly.
The packaging protects the beef when it is stocked with us & during transit to your door to arrive in perfect condition for easy storage in your fridge/freezer. See about the Bord Bia Guide To Meat & or the information about the Irish Food Board standards of our beef.

- RECIPES & HOW TO COOK A BEEF PACKER BRISKET
- HOW TO STORE, DEFROST & PREPARE BEEF PACKER BRISKET
Your Beef Packer Brisket is vacuum packed from fresh & is frozen after packing to keep all the natural juices inside the beef. The best way to defrost our Beef Brisket is to place into your fridge at home & leave to thaw or ” Temper Out” slowly, in its vacuum sealed bag.
The reason for this is because it allows the frozen cells in the texture of the meat to revert back to its normal liquid state without damaging the cell membranes. Limiting damage to the cell membranes ensures the natural texture & flavour of the Beef Brisket is just like it has been cut when thawed slowly in a fridge. The second reason to defrost your Beef Brisket in this way is because the natural bacteria in meat will not have a chance to reproduce & spoil the meat.
The vacuum sealed recyclable clear bag will prevent any oxygen getting into the beef, slowing the process of bacteria growth even further. The bag will also hold the moisture in the beef much longer, giving a far better flavour & result after cooking.
Storage Life Beef Packer Brisket:
Frozen: -18°c up to 2 years
Fresh: +3°c (bottom drawer in domestic fridge) 21 days. Longer if lower temperature
How to defrost a Beef Packer Brisket:
Place in coldest part of the fridge until fully thawed in its original vacuum sealed bag. The thawing process should take between 3-5 days depending on the weight of your Beef Brisket.
How to prepare a Beef Packer Brisket before cooking:
Please note that before cooking for best results; remove your brisket from the fridge, leave in ambient temperature for 2 hours, then remove from its bag & season with your rub, leave covered over in ambient temperature for a further 2 hours before cooking.
