Recipe
Ingredients
- 1.5kg beef brisket
- RUB:
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- BARBECUE SAUCE:
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
- ¼ cup tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp apple-cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 cup beef stock
- 4-6 brioche buns
- 150g coleslaw mix
- 8-10 burger cheese slices
- Pickles
Method
- Set the slow cooker to a high heat for 8 hours and place brisket fatty side down.
- In a bowl, mix the rub spices together and rub over the top of the brisket piece. Place the lid on the slow cooker and set a timer for 30 mins.
- Combine all the barbecue sauce ingredients in a bowl and add to the slow cooker after the 30-min timer goes off. Combine well over the brisket.
- Cook for 5½ hours then check. If the brisket still feels quite firm, you can slice it into 4-5 chunks.
- At 8 hours, Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and place in a baking dish. Pull apart with 2 forks until you achieve a nice pulled consistency.
- Spoon the sauce from the slow cooker over the pulled meat and stir. Add a few spoonfuls at a time until the meat has a saucy consistency but is not drowning in liquid. Cover with aluminium foil for 5 mins and allow the meat to rest and absorb the juices.
- Construct your burger buns with coleslaw, pulled brisket, cheese and pickles. It is quite saucy, so extra sauce is optional.
- Tip: For a quick and easy dinner the next night, reheat leftover brisket for tacos.
