INGREDIENTS
1.2kg Brisket
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large onions
4 tbsp plain flour
500ml golden ale
1 tbsp yeast or beef extract
1 tbsp dark brown soft sugar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ bunch of thyme
2 bay leaves
500ml hot beef stock
2 tsp cornflour

METHOD

STEP 1 > Select the Sear/Sauté function on your multi cooker and heat 1 tbsp of the oil.

STEP 2 > Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper, then brown it all over (about 8–10 mins). Remove and set aside.

STEP 3 > Add another drizzle of oil if needed, then cook the onions with a pinch of salt for about 10–12 mins, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden.

STEP 4 > Sprinkle over the flour and stir well to coat.

STEP 5 > Pour in the ale, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the base of the pot. Let it bubble for 2 mins.

STEP 6 > Stir in the yeast/beef extract, sugar, and vinegar.

STEP 7 > Return the brisket to the pot, add the bay leaves and thyme, and pour in just enough hot stock so the brisket is half submerged.

STEP 8 > Close the lid, switch to Slow Cook – Low and cook for 7–8 hours, or 4 hours on High, until the beef is tender enough to pull apart easily.

STEP 9 > Carefully remove the brisket and keep it covered to stay warm.

STEP 10 > Select Simmer/Reduce (or Sear/Sauté if your model doesn’t have a reduce function) and bubble the sauce for 10–15 mins until thickened.

TIP

Shred leftover brisket and serve in soft rolls with gravy or barbecue sauce for an easy next-day dinner.
