  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 230 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (198 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: Dairy-free, High protein, Low carb
  • Contains: beef, gluten

Ingredients

  • 160 g Beef brisket, raw
  • 30 g Barbecue sauce
  • 5 g Sugar, brown
  • 1 g Paprika
  • 0.5 g Black pepper
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 0.5 g Garlic powder

Method

  1. Trim the beef brisket point and pat it dry, then season all over with the salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
  2. Smoke or slow-roast at 120°C (250°F) until deeply browned and fork-tender, with an internal temperature of about 95°C (203°F), 3-4 hours.
  3. Rest the brisket for 15 minutes, then cut it into 4 cm (1½ in) cubes.
  4. Toss the cubes with the barbecue sauce and brown sugar in a pan.
  5. Return to the smoker, or a hot oven at 200°C (400°F), for 15-20 minutes so the sauce caramelizes and clings to the meat.
  6. Rest briefly and serve hot, straight from the pan.
