Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1.3-1.5kg beef brisket
  • Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 1 red onion (diced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (diced)
  • 1 cup bone broth
  • ½ cup organic BBQ sauce (preservative & additive free)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (preservative & additive free)
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 cup passata
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Method

Oven Cook Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 120°C fan-forced.
  2. On your stove top, heat a drizzle of EVOO in a dutch oven on medium-high heat and lightly brown the brisket. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Add another drizzle of EVOO to the pan and sauté the onion and garlic until browned.
  4. Add in the bone broth, sauces, orange juice, passata and honey and allow it to reach a gentle simmer.
  5. Once simmering, add the brisket back in and top with the spices immediately (the brisket should be sitting just above the liquid line).
  6. Place the lid on the dutch oven and place into the oven to slow cook for around 7 hours. The meat should easily fall apart once cooked.
  7. Remove the brisket from the sauce to pull the meat apart using two forks.
  8. Place the brisket back into the sauce and mix well.
