Brisket

Brisket is cut from the chest area of beef or veal. Since the meat comes from this area, there is a good deal of connective tissue, it should be prepped correctly to come out with a tender end product. Briskets are usually slow cooked in a liquid, or kept basted to avoid issues with drying out in the amount of time it takes to tenderize.

What is brisket disease?

Brisket disease, also known as high-altitude disease or brisket edema, primarily affects cattle when they are moved to high-altitude environments.

Management includes acclimatization to altitude and, in some cases, medications to alleviate symptoms.

Can you use flank steak in place of brisket for a Jewish brisket recipe?

Is just the recipe Jewish, or are the people eating it Jewish as well? Because if they are, then you don't want to use flank steak.

Flank steak comes from the back half of the animal, which is tricky to deal with under kashrut, or Jewish dietary law, which forbids eating the "thigh". The prohibition is usually taken to mean not simply the literal thigh, but the sciatic nerve itself and certain particular blood vessels.

Making sure these are completely removed is a complicated and finicky process, so most of the time people just punt and sell the hindquarters to non-kosher butchers, where this isn't an issue.

Kosher butchers sometimes sell "kosher flank steak" which is actually a different cut of meat entirely... often chuck. That could possibly be used instead of brisket.

Finally, one issue that has nothing to do with kosher: flank steak is one of the toughest cuts of beef there is. While it's technically possible to use it in place of the brisket (which is also regarded as a tough cut, though not as tough as flank) you may not care for the results.
