Ingredients
Serves 8 people
Beef Brisket 1.7kg (not rolled)
2-3 tbsp GF Worcestershire Sauce
Sea salt and pepper for seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
2 - 3 stems of rosemary
1 red onion, sliced into half moon thin slices
1/2 swede, peeled and cut into small cubes
3 carrots (no need to peel, but ends removed), cut into circles
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
big bunch of rosemary leaves, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
200ml bone broth
chopped parsley and chilli flakes to garnish
bring your brisket upto room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking.
Season all over with sea, pepper and the Worcestershire sauce. Rub the base of an ovenproof dish that has a fitted lid with 1 Tbsp olive oil and add the rosemary stems. Add the seasoned beef brisket and cover with a fitted lid. Place in the oven FAN 130 for 6 hours.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the beef brisket, and give the mixture a good stir. Cover again with the lid and place back in the oven FAN 160 for 1 hour.
Remove the beef to a carving board and cover with foil and allow the meat the rest for 40 minutes. sieve the gravy juice into a jug and place into the freezer. After 20 minutes, the fat will have collected at the top, so you can easily scoop this away (or your gravy will taste greasy). Return the gravy back to the ovenproof dish with the vegetables and return back to the oven with the lid removed for about 20 minutes. Taste and season with sea salt and pepper if required. Slice the beef against the grain and add back into the dish with the gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley and chilli flakes
Serve with steamed green broccoli
