Cook brisket with the fat side up, so the fat melts and basts the meat as it flows down into the pan. It is also a good idea to have some of the fat removed by the butcher before beginning to cook it.

Brisket typically cooks down by about 30-40% due to moisture loss and fat rendering during the cooking process.

i think you should cook fat side up. as the fat cooks it will release the oils to travel over the meat thus moistening it as it cooks.

Does brisket have a lot of fat?

Yes, brisket contains a significant amount of fat, particularly in the form of marbling within the meat and a thicker layer of fat on one side. This fat contributes to the flavor and tenderness when cooked, especially during slow-cooking methods like smoking or braising. However, the fat content can vary depending on the specific cut and how it is trimmed before cooking.

What seasoning to use on a brisket?

If I buy a beef brisket with a packet of spices inside the meat tray, I use that packet of spices. Most of the time they appear to be what I put together from scratch. That is, when I am seasoning a beef brisket on my own, I use whole peppercorns, whole cloves, whole bay leaves, garlic cloves, and salt. It is best to rub the brisket down with the salt and garlic cloves, dot the whole cloves and peppercorns all over the meat (pressing the garlic into the meat itself), turn the fat side up, cover it with water, top it with the bay leaves, cover the roasting pan with a lid, then cook it at a moderate heat (about 350 degrees) for 3-4 hours. It must not run out of water during cooking time! The moist heat is the reason it will be tenderized and delicious. I always cook a cabbage in the roasting pan with the brisket after the first 2 or 3 hours of cooking time. That's my St. Patrick's Day favorite!
