Definición y Significado de "beef plate"

What is "beef plate"?

The beef plate, also known as the beef belly or brisket plate, is a primal cut of beef located beneath the ribs and above the flank. It contains layers of meat, fat, and connective tissue, making it flavorful but also requiring slow cooking to become tender. The beef plate is commonly used for braising, smoking, or slow-roasting to break down the tough fibers and render the fat, resulting in succulent and flavorful meat. Despite its initial toughness, the beef plate offers rich flavor and satisfying texture when cooked properly.
