Notes
Most grocery stores label flat end trimmed beef brisket just as "brisket." The only time you really see specific labeled cuts of meats are at higher end supermarkets or at butcher shops. In which case, you'll want to specifically ask for this particular cut.
For extra flavor: Drizzle a bit of the liquid that is left in the slow cooker on top of the cuts of meat. When you cut across the grain, it gives you a tender cut of meat.
