Recipe of the Month | Slow Cooked Beef Brisket | Food Ingredients TCFG

Tip: Use good quality ingredients – have a chat with your local butcher to find out where they get their meat. Using good produce will not only help your meals taste great but they’ll be more nutritious.

Nice to see you again foodies! We’re just back from a BBQ Safari Trip of the USA and full to the brim of new tasty ideas to try out in our kitchen!

This month we’ve come up with an absolute gem of a recipe! A ‘Slow Cooked Beef Brisket’ – big enough to feed all your family and all your friends too. This recipe is heavily influenced by our trip to the America (the home of the BBQ!) and perfect for the summer.

Barbecuing in its truest form is so much more than just grilling your favourite ingredients. It’s a process of slow cooking the meat using different woods that add amazing flavours. The chefs in the US have fine-tuned this cooking style into an art form.

The Beef Brisket takes a little bit of planning because its slow cooked but trust us it’s worth it!

Here’s the ingredients you’ll need – happy cooking!
