Slow-Cooked Pulled Chipotle Brisket

from The Irish Beef Book by Pat Whelan & Katy McGuinness (Gill & Macmillan Books)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Serves 6

 

Prep time: 15 mins

Cooking time: 5½ hrs

 

2kg piece of brisket, on the bone

 

For the Marinade:

6 tbsp tomato puree

2 tbsp chipotle paste

330ml beer

2 tbsp wine vinegar

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp honey, or maple syrup (Pat uses Highbank apple syrup)

2 tbsp Dijon Mustard

small bunch of thyme

4 cloves of garlic, smashed

freshly ground black pepper

sea salt

 

1. Combine all the ingredients for the marinade.  Slather the marinade all over the meat & place in the fridge, covered with cling-film, overnight.

2. The next day, place the brisket & marinade in a roasting dish & cover well with tin foil.

3. Cook at 130C/fan, 110C/gas mark 1 for about 5 hrs or until the meat is very tender & falling apart. 

4. Cook for a further 30 mins without the foil, until the meat is nicely browned.

5. When the joint is cool enough to handle, remove any excess fat & shred the meat. 

6. Pour the cooking liquid, along with any interesting bits of caramelised sauce, into a jug & allow the fat to rise to the top.  Skim off the fat, reduce the juices if they are very liquid & add the pulled meat to the remaining juices.

7. Serve in a bap with red slaw.
