Slow Cooked Beef Brisket
Slow Cooked Beef Brisket
Mmmm… Beef brisket is transformed into tender morsels of goodness. Rub the beef with a combination of chilli powder, cumin, brown sugar, cayenne and garlic then slow-cook it in a homemade sweet and savoury sauce. After ten hours of gentle cooking, the meat can be sliced or shredded, tossed with the sauce, and stuffed into a sandwich with leafy greens. We’ve given an option to speed up the cook time for those with busy lifestyles. Cook in an Instant Pot for 2–2.5 hours.

INGREDIENTS
For the brisket
- 1 Pure South Beef Brisket 1.5 kg
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp chilli powder
- 1/2 cup paprika
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper more as needed
- 1 tbsp rock salt more as needed
For the sauce
- 1 1/2 cups tomato pasta sauce
- 1/2 cup cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder or minced fresh garlic
- 3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place all of the sauce ingredients in a large pressure/slow cooker and stir to combine.
- Place all of the measured brisket ingredients, except the brisket, in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
- Evenly coat the brisket with the spice rub and place the brisket into your pressure/slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until fork-tender, about ten hours. If using the Instant Pot, set the timer to 2 hours. Check the meat can easily be pulled away with a fork. If not, cook for a further half an hour.
- Transfer the brisket to a serving dish. Slice or pull the meat. Pour the sauce from the pressure/slow cooker to serve.
