Beef brisket is the cut of meat located in the front belly of the cow, just below the ribs.

Beef brisket is famous for its "three-layer" structure, perfectly interwoven with strips of lean meat and soft fat. The fat layer of beef brisket is chewy, fragrant, and rich, yet has a slight crispness when eaten, unlike the greasy texture of pork brisket. The lean meat is thick, with firm, juicy fibers.

- Tenderness and richness: Thanks to the ideal lean-to-fat ratio, beef brisket is one of the cuts of meat with the highest moisture content, never drying out or becoming tough when cooked, even at high temperatures.

- Rich flavor: The belly muscle provides a characteristic amount of marbling that gives the cooked meat a rich, fragrant aroma that strongly awakens the sense of smell.

- Convenience and economy: This is a popular cut of meat with a reasonable price, abundant supply, and is extremely easy to prepare into many different dishes (grilled, stir-fried, hot pot, etc.).

The symbolic location - the red area - on the cow's body represents the pork belly (or bacon).
