Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like chuck roast or flank steak, but cooking times may vary. Ensure you adjust the cooking time to achieve tender meat, as different cuts have different fat content and tenderness.

What should I do if the brisket isn't tender after cooking?
