Brisket From $31/kg – Grass-Fed Wagyu MB3+ – Altair Wagyu

The Altair Wagyu Brisket MB3+ is a premium Australian Wagyu whole brisket prized for its balance of clean grass-fed flavour, fine intramuscular marbling, and exceptional performance in low and slow cooking. Sourced exclusively from the Altair Wagyu program, this brisket comes from cattle raised entirely on pasture across Tasmania, Gippsland in Victoria, and the Limestone Coast of South Australia.

Unlike conventional Wagyu programs that rely on grain finishing, Altair Wagyu cattle are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished for life, never entering a feedlot or receiving grain supplementation. This natural approach produces a brisket with bright beef character, subtle richness, and a texture that transforms beautifully when cooked with time and patience.

At an MB3+ marble score, this brisket offers enough intramuscular fat to stay moist and tender during long cooks, without overpowering the natural flavour of the beef. It is a reliable choice for pitmasters, chefs, and serious home cooks who value flavour clarity, consistency, and ethical production.

Why This Brisket Stands Apart

This brisket is defined by balance rather than excess. The MB3+ marbling level provides enough intramuscular fat to protect the meat during extended cooking while preserving the natural texture and flavour of grass-fed beef.

Because the cattle are never grain finished, the fat profile is finer and cleaner. During cooking, the fat renders steadily rather than aggressively, allowing the meat to stay moist without collapsing or becoming overly rich. This makes the brisket more predictable for long cooks where structure and slice quality matter.

It is a cut that performs consistently when treated with time and restraint.

The Altair Wagyu Program

Altair Wagyu is built on three guiding principles: Genetics, Grass, and Time.

Carefully selected Tajima Wagyu genetics are crossed with premium British and European dam lines to create cattle that marble naturally on pasture alone. Raised in temperate grazing regions with reliable rainfall and nutrient-rich grass, Altair cattle mature slowly over approximately 30 months, allowing marbling to develop gradually without artificial inputs.

This extended grass-only upbringing delivers a brisket that eats differently from grain-fed Wagyu. Expect a cleaner finish, better fat integration, and a beef flavour that remains present even after long smoking or braising sessions.

Cut Information and Eating Quality

Brisket is taken from the lower chest of the animal, a hardworking muscle group loaded with connective tissue and deep beef flavour. While naturally firm when raw, this cut rewards low and slow cooking methods that break down collagen and allow fat to melt through the meat.

The MB3+ marbling level strikes an ideal balance for brisket. It provides enough internal fat to protect the meat during extended cooks while still delivering a traditional brisket texture and slice structure. Once cooked correctly, the result is rich, juicy, and deeply flavourful without becoming overly fatty.

This brisket performs exceptionally well in smokers, ovens, and sous vide setups, making it a versatile centrepiece for serious cooks.

Taste and Texture Experience

Once cooked low and slow, expect a brisket that slices cleanly while remaining juicy and supple. The rendered fat integrates into the meat rather than pooling, delivering a savoury, beef-forward flavour with a subtle richness.

Texture is soft without being fragile. Slices hold together, bend without breaking, and pull apart naturally where muscle fibres meet. The finish is clean and satisfying rather than heavy.

Best Cooking Methods

This cut is designed for patience and precision.

Low-and-slow smoking remains the gold standard, allowing fat to render gradually while connective tissue softens over time. Braising in the oven or a slow cooker produces outstanding results for pulled or sliced brisket. 

Sous vide followed by a smoke or oven finish offers precise control and consistent tenderness.

Regardless of method, proper resting after cooking is essential to allow juices to redistribute and achieve the best possible eating experience.

Weight Options and Pricing Adjustments

Average weights are a guide only. Whole briskets naturally vary in size.

• Single piece: approximately 8 kg
• Full box: approximately 16 kg

As a whole-muscle cut, brisket size naturally varies. Final weights may differ slightly depending on the individual animal.

Pricing adjustments apply due to handling and processing requirements:

• Single pieces: +$10 per kg
• Half boxes: +$5 per kg
• Double boxes: slightly lower price per kg, with the exact discount varying by availability.

These adjustments reflect the additional labour, handling, and processing involved in portioning and packing different formats.
