What is the best cut of corned beef point or flat?The flat cut is the preferred cut for corned beef, but the whole brisket is used often as well. If you are trying to make the perfect looking meal for corned beef, then make sure you pick up the flat. If you're making hash or corned beef for reubens, then you can use either and have great results.
What cut of corned beef brisket is best?The flat cut makes up the majority of the brisket. It's long and thin with a thick layer of fat on top that keeps the meat moist when cooked. This cut is best for slicing and most likely what you'll find in your supermarket. It's also the best cut of brisket to use for Homemade Corned Beef.
Which type of corned beef is more tender?The brisket is a tough cut of meat. Some prefer the point because it tends to be more tender and juicy after cooking. The flat or round cut is much leaner, as you can see. Once it's prepared, it has a better presentation than the point.
How much does a 3 pound corned beef feed?Keep in mind that depending on the cut, corned beef will shrink by as much as one-third during cooking. A 3-pound brisket should feed four to six people if served with vegetables.
