A preparation method involving a sweet and savory coating applied to cured brisket, typically during the final stages of cooking, to enhance flavor and visual appeal. For example, after simmering or slow-cooking the meat, a mixture of ingredients like brown sugar, mustard, and spices is brushed onto the surface before baking, creating a glossy and flavorful crust.
This technique elevates the dining experience by providing a contrasting taste profile to the saltiness of the meat. The application of a flavorful coating not only improves the overall taste but also adds an aesthetic element, making the dish more attractive. Historically, the use of such coatings has been a way to preserve food and add palatability to naturally tougher cuts of meat.
