easy brisket recipe

Bake beef brisket until meltingly tender in a sweet, smoky sauce, with a gentle chilli kick - serve in warm wraps or on baked potatoes

Pulled firecracker brisket

vegetable oil

beef

red onions, chopped

tbsp sweet smoked paprika

tbsp English mustard powder

cinnamon

½ tsp ground cayenne pepper

1½ tbsp treacle

red wine vinegar,

soft light brown sugar, plus 2 tbsp

garlic cloves, crushed

bay leaves

carton passata

Worcestershire sauce

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large, deep roasting tin (one that can go on the hob) or in your largest flameproof casserole dish. Season the beef well and sear in the tin until nicely browned all over. Lift out and put on a plate or board. Add another 1 tbsp oil and the onions to the tin and sweat for 8-10 mins until really soft. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the paprika, mustard powder, cinnamon, cayenne or chilli, treacle, 2 tbsp vinegar, 2 tbsp sugar and the remaining oil. Brush all over the meat, reserving about 2 tbsp for later. Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2.

Add the garlic, bay leaves and chillies to the softened onions, stir around the pan for 1-2 mins, then pour in the passata, Worcestershire sauce, remaining vinegar and sugar. Season the sauce, give a good stir, then put the brisket on top. Wrap the tin tightly in a few sheets of foil, or cover with a lid, and bake for 6 hrs, turning once or twice during cooking, until really tender.

Uncover the dish, give the sauce around the meat a little stir and brush the remaining spice paste over the meat. Can be made a day ahead up to this point – cool then chill the meat and sauce; remove from the fridge and scoop off any fat from the sauce before reheating. Increase the temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook for a further 20 mins (or 40 mins from cold, covered for 20 mins) until the meat is dark and sticky. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 15 mins.

To serve, skim any fat off the surface of the sauce, shred the meat with 2 forks, discarding any butcher’s string as you go, and toss the meat through the sauce, discarding the bay leaves and chillies. Pile into warm flatbreads and serve with Charred sweetcorn salsa (see 'Goes well with') and a dollop of soured cream.

You really need to amend this recipe re where to buy your brisket. All butchers will sell this and should be first port of call. Some supermarkets might sell it but it won’t be as good.

Made this earlier in the week and it is just great. Not too crumbly and not too tough, just right. Went down a treat with family as served with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and a selection of mixed vegetables. Still using the leftovers in different sandwiches. Thanks for the best brisket recipe.

I've just written this out for the 'keepers' recipe book. Great recipe, looking forward to today's leftovers!
