Ingredients
1.5kg of beef brisket – whole piece
200ml apple cider
200ml beef stock
Dry rub
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp mustard powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp fennel seeds
Half tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
Half tsp cayenne pepper
Sauce
150ml cider vinegar
50g dark brown sugar
150ml tomato ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Method
Mix together the dry rub ingredients and rub over the brisket. Leave overnight.
Cook beef in deep roasting tray with stock and cider for 6 hours at 150°fan/170°C/325°F/G.M. 3. Check every few hours to make sure the liquid has not all evaporated. Top up if required with more stock and cider. Once the beef is falling apart nicely, remove from the oven and shred with two forks. Reserve the liquid from the brisket roasting tray.
Heat the sauce ingredients together in small pan along with the juices from brisket roasting tray. Add the sauce to the pulled brisket and serve.
