Wagyu Raw Corned Beef Brisket

Upgrade your sandwiches, and all your favorite corned beef recipes, by starting with our gourmet Wagyu corned beef brisket! Beautifully marbled our MS3 Wagyu corned beef, while representing the leaner end of the spectrum, still boasts a higher ratio of fat to meat than any grass-fed beef available. This extra fat imbues our brisket with extra flavor and a tender texture, unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Great meals start with great ingredients, and our 100% Wagyu corned beef brisket from Broadleaf is just that!

Although it’s got the name 'corn' in its title, corned beef brisket has nothing to do with what we think of today as corn. Instead, its name comes from the old word for salt who’s large hard grains were referred to as 'corns'. So to make things a little simpler, corned beef is just salted beef. This method for preserving meat was developed centuries ago when salting or pickling foods was the only way to keep them from going bad before the days of refrigeration. The brine used on corned beef is very similar to that used to make pickles, and it would be fair to say that corned beef is essentially pickled beef! Once a necessary addition, we’ve continued the practice of adding salt and a heady blend of spices to our meats for the wonderful flavor it adds.

Situated near the chest of the cow the brisket supports a lot of weight and is used continuously in day to day activity. This heavy use makes it a notoriously tough and chewy cut filled with a lot of connective tissue, but at the same time lends it that intensely beefy taste we all love so much! By brining the beef, then cooking it slowly until the meat is tender and the connective tissue has broken down, we are left with a flavorful and succulent cut that everyone loves.

Thanks to Wagyu’s naturally heavy marbling and high ratio of fat to meat, you’ll find our corned beef brisket is one of the juiciest and most flavorful on the market! The higher fat content intrinsic to this special meat melts during cooking and imbues the brisket with a richness and tenderness not found in other corned beef. Sold in packs of 6, each of our briskets are portioned into 4-pound pieces, making them large enough to feed the whole family but small enough that they won’t take all day to cook. Already brined yet still raw, there’s no need to do any of the initial prep-work, but you still have the freedom to prepare your brisket any way you like. From braising to smoking, any low, slow method is sure to yield truly delicious results!
