Hot & Spicy Beer Brisket

Beef brisket is what slow cookers were made for. It’s one of the tougher cuts of beef, but if you have the time to slow cook it, brisket will become tender and taste incredible. Adding a few simple ingredients is all it takes to convert this cut of meat into a succulent, flavoursome dish. With the spicy kick in this recipe, it’s perfect for those colder winter evenings.

Brisket will be available at all good butchers and many large supermarkets. In the UK, you’ll often find brisket is rolled – tied up with butchers string. For this recipe, we’d recommend removing the string and rolling the cut of meat out.

There is a little bit of preparation to do before placing this in the slow cooker, by combining a handful of spices to create a rub, searing the brisket in a hot pan and sautéing sliced onions.

Try serving this with some potato wedges and coleslaw, or in a burger, or in a baguette – so many options!
