Beef brisket is a rich, slow cooked cut with zero carbs. Low and slow cooking breaks down the connective tissue and leaves you with tender, fatty meat.

Keto notes

  • Zero net carbs, a good source of protein and fat
  • Smoke or braise for hours until fork tender
  • Skip sweet barbecue rubs and sauces, which often carry a lot of added sugar
  • The point cut is fattier and better for keto than the leaner flat
