Ingredients
- 0.8 - 1 Kilo beef brisket
- 3 - 4 small/medium brown or red onions sliced
- 6 cloves garlic sliced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 beef stock cube
- Salt flakes and freshly ground pepper
Onion Gravy
- 2 teaspoons cornflour
- 2 teaspoons cold water
- Meat juices and the cooked sliced onions/garlic
Instructions
- Remove brisket from fridge, discard packing and allow to come to room temperature for 30 mins.
- Place the sliced onions and sprigs of rosemary in the base of a slow cooker (Crockpot).
- Place brisket on top or onions, season with a little salt, a generous grinding of pepper and crumble over beef stock cube.
- Set the slow cooker to high for 4 – 5 hours or low for 7 – 8 hours.
- Once the beef brisket is cooked and tender (see advice above for checking doneness above), remove from slow cooker, cover with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile prepare the onion gravy. Remove the rosemary sprigs (if using) and pour the meat juices, onions and garlic into a pan.
- Mix 2 teaspoons or cornflour with 2 teaspoons of cold water to form a thin paste and stir into the pan.
- Slowly bring gravy to the boil whilst stirring with a wooden spoon and then simmer until the thickens (you may need to add a some boiling water to get the desired consistency/quantity).
- Once the meat has rested, carve across the grain and serve with the onion gravy and your choice of vegetables.
Notes
- Larger brisket joints of up to 2 kilo will require up to 1 hour to reach room temperature before cooking.
- Allow about 250 grams of raw brisket per serving.
- It’s a good idea to cook a bigger brisket joint than you need as leftovers are great reheated, made into other dishes or used in sandwiches
