Chicago-made · Pilot batches now sampling

Corned beef from the South Side.

South Side Irish™ Premium Meats is a new line of traditionally cured brisket and ready meals, made in Chicago. We're running pilot batches now and sending samples to retail, deli and foodservice buyers.

The corned beef

One brisket, two cuts.

A whole brisket is two muscles. We cure both and pack them separately, so you can stock the one your customers actually cook.

Side view of a whole brisket: the long, thinner flat along the bottom, and the thicker point sitting on top of one end, separated by a seam of fat. FLAT POINT Fat cap Seam fat · splits the cuts
The grain runs a different direction in each muscle, which is why the two cuts slice differently. Click either muscle to compare.

Flat cut

The long, thinner muscle along the bottom of the brisket. Less marbling and an even thickness, so it cuts into uniform slices.

Slices
Clean, even slices across the grain
