### Hook Brisket loves a long, slow cook. You handle the patience, it delivers the tenderness. ### What you get - About 3 pounds, trimmed for home ovens or smokers - Rich beef flavor that shines with simple seasoning - Feeds 6 to 8, plus sandwich leftovers - From Thoma Farm, raised with care ### Why it matters Brisket turns time into flavor. Low and slow cooking melts tough fibers into fork-tender slices. Perfect for weekends, game days, and easy meal prep. ### How to cook 1. Pat dry. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic. 2. Sear in a hot pan until browned. 3. Oven or smoker at 275°F with a splash of broth. Cover. 4. Cook 3.5 to 5 hours until tender. Rest 20 minutes, then slice against the grain. ### Meal ideas - Classic sliced brisket with roasted potatoes and slaw - Shred for tacos with pickled onions - Next-day hash with eggs - Broth booster for ramen or veggie soup ### Good to know Every purchase keeps dollars with independent producers. That strengthens the independent food economy and puts better food on your table. Producer notes: Brad Thoma owns and operates Thoma Farms and Thoma Meat Market. The family business began in 1945 by serving retail customers in Saxonburg and the surrounding communities with high quality meat products. They now operate a federally inspected, old fashioned butcher shop and meat market under the Thoma brand name. Their ingredients come from hand selected cattle and hogs purchased from local farmers. Brad himself is in charge of raising the sheep. The Thoma family has become an integral part of the agricultural landscape in Western PA.
