Southern-Style Beef Brisket

slow cooking. Add a little Southern-style spice to the pot, and you’ve got the makings of a succulent pulled meat to serve in buns with coleslaw, or with mash and veggies on the side.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp chipotle chilli
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 kg beef brisket
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1 brown onion sliced
• 4 garlic cloves minced
• 2 tbs tomato paste
• 2 tbs red wine vinegar
• 2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbs brown sugar
• 1 beef stock cube

• Method

  • STEP 1Combine chipotle, paprika, garlic powder, cumin and salt. Place on a plate and roll brisket to coat completely.
  • STEP 2Heat oil in a frypan and brown brisket on all sides.
  • STEP 3Place onion and garlic in the bowl of slow cooker. Place browned brisket on top. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients with 1/2 cup water. Pour over brisket, cover with lid and cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 5 hours).
  • STEP 4Remove beef to a plate and use two forks to shred, or pull, the meat. Return to slow cooker and combine with the onion y sauce that remains. Serve with crusty bread rolls, coleslaw and good-quality barbecue sauce.

  • Notes

    If you find the sauce in the slow cooker has reduced too much and dried out, you can stir a couple of tablespoons of good-quality barbecue sauce through the pulled brisket prior to serving.
