Southern Ranges MB2 Brisket is a traditional slow-cooking cut created for those who value patience and technique. Sourced from cattle raised entirely on open pasture, this brisket reflects the honest character of Australian grass-fed beef.
With MB2 marbling and a naturally clean flavour profile, it is designed to reward long, controlled cooking rather than shortcuts. It offers excellent value for BBQ, smoking, and slow roasting. Given time and care, this brisket transforms into a deeply satisfying, flavourful cut with exceptional texture.
Understanding the Brisket Cut
Here is how Southern Ranges MB2 Brisket is defined by structure, grading, and performance during slow cooking:
-
Cut identification: This brisket is taken from the lower chest of the animal, a muscle group designed for strength and endurance rather than tenderness.
-
Muscle composition: The cut contains long muscle fibres and connective tissue that require slow cooking to achieve proper breakdown and softness.
-
Marbling level: MB2 marbling provides functional intramuscular fat that supports moisture retention during extended cooking without overpowering the natural flavour.
-
Grass-fed suitability: The marbling level is well suited to grass-fed brisket, delivering reliable cooking performance while maintaining a clean, beef-forward profile.
-
Consistency standard: Each brisket is selected to meet Southern Ranges quality benchmarks, ensuring dependable results across smoking, braising, and slow roasting methods.
MB2 Marbling in a Grass-Fed Brisket
In a grass-fed brisket, marbling plays a supporting role rather than driving richness. An MB2 marbling score provides enough intramuscular fat to assist moisture retention during long cooks without overpowering the clean flavour of pasture-raised beef.
Rather than relying on fat alone, tenderness is achieved through collagen breakdown, resulting in a balanced eating experience. This makes Southern Ranges MB2 Brisket well-suited to extended cooking methods where flavour builds gradually, and texture improves with patience.
Southern Ranges Standards
Southern Ranges MB2 Brisket is sourced from Victoria’s Southern Ranges, a region known for its cool climate, fertile soils, and reliable rainfall. These conditions support year-round grazing on nutrient-rich pasture, allowing cattle to grow steadily without pressure or grain supplementation.
All cattle are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, raised on open pasture for their entire lifecycle. Production is hormone and antibiotic-free, aligning with responsible farming practices and clean eating preferences.
Animals are carefully matured between 18 to 36 months, supporting balanced muscle development and flavour concentration.
Every stage of production is fully traceable from paddock through processing, providing transparency, consistency, and confidence in origin. These standards ensure the brisket reflects its environment and delivers reliable quality with every purchase.
Taste & Texture Experience
When cooked correctly, Southern Ranges MB2 Brisket delivers deep, savoury beef flavour with a clean grass-fed finish. The taste develops slowly, allowing smoke, seasoning, or cooking liquids to complement rather than mask the meat.
Texture changes dramatically throughout the cook, moving from firm to tender as collagen breaks down. The finished brisket slices cleanly or pulls apart while retaining moisture and structure. The result is rich and satisfying without excessive heaviness.
Cooking Methods That Work
These cooking methods allow Southern Ranges MB2 Brisket to break down properly and deliver the tenderness it is known for:
-
Low and Slow Smoking: Ideal for breaking down connective tissue while developing bark, smoke character, and depth of flavour over time.
-
Slow Roasting: Gentle oven heat allows even softening and moisture retention, producing consistent results without specialised equipment.
-
Braising: Cooking with liquid supports collagen breakdown and creates a softer, more yielding texture with rich flavour.
-
Sous Vide: Extended temperature control ensures reliable tenderness before finishing with heat to develop surface texture.
Packaging, Storage, and Shelf Life
Each Southern Ranges MB2 Brisket is cryovac sealed immediately after processing to preserve freshness, flavour, and integrity. Vacuum sealing limits oxygen exposure, supporting extended shelf life and consistent quality from delivery to preparation.
When stored unopened in the refrigerator, the brisket maintains its freshness for up to 10 weeks. For longer storage, freezing at -18°C preserves quality for up to 12 months. Slow thawing in the refrigerator is recommended to maintain moisture and texture.
Clear packaging and storage guidance allow for confident planning, whether cooking immediately or preparing for a future long cook.
