Ingredients
  

  • 1.8 kg Beef brisket
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 Red onion, diced
  • 5 Garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 tbsp Chipotle paste
  • 6 tbsp Dark brown sugar
  • 400 ml Beef stock
  • 300 ml Red wine
  • 250 ml Passata
  • 200 ml Orange juice
  • 1 tbsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp Ground coriander

Instructions
 

  • In a large deep dish, heat the oil. Add the diced onion and fry for 5 minutes. Then stir in the cumin, coriander and garlic slices, chipotle paste and dark brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper, and cook out the spices.
  • Remove from the heat and place in a blender and pulse it until smooth.
  • Rub this marinade over the beef brisket in the large deep dish. Marinade for at least 3 hours.
  • Heat the oven to 120°C fan / 140°C.
  • Pour the beef stock, orange juice, passata and red wine in a large jug.
  • Pour the mixture into the dish with the marinaded beef brisket. Cover with a lid and slow cook for 5 hours. Turn the meat halfway through.
  • Once the brisket is cooked. Place the brisket in a roasting tin. Move the pan to the hob and reduce down to a thick BBQ sauce.
  • Finish the brisket by pouring over the BBQ sauce and grilling for 5 minutes. You will have excess sauce so you don't need to pour all of it over. Serve with fresh baked bread or wraps with avocado, green salad and remaining BBQ sauce.
