How do I get better marbling on the brisket? There’s one picture and one picture that doesn’t have it.

    Buy better graded meat? Marbling is just the amount in intramuscular fat the meat has so there’s nothing you can do to add to it

    You don’t. You’re just seeing some intramuscular stuff in pic 1. You can’t add it to the cow once it’s dead, so you need to buy a brisket with it already in there.

    It also renders out as you cook. If you leave too much, it gets chewy.

  3. Buying brisket, even prime, is often like a box of chocolates.

    Apply a generous amount of marbling additive.
