what can I do with Brisket?

tiff

Thanks for your help, I'll try it in all the different ways eventually. I have a couple of cans of bitter left over from Christmas so I think I'll use that up this time round. This is for tomorrow nights tea.

I did it on sunday and am eating beef sandwiches this week! All I did was chop up some swedes, cover with water and bung the brisket on top, nothing fancy at all. I got mine from the butcher and there was loads of meat and it was lovely quality.

Look what i found on the old board.

Thanks Judi, a few more ideas there too

Still eating the brisket I cooked in the slow cooker on Saturday, large one bought reduced from Lidl (£3.50)

Saturday- we had a sort of Sunday dinner brisket!
Sunday -out most of the day, so made a stir fry with chopped brisket etc
Monday-salad with brisket!
Tuesday-curried brisket!
The last is going on my sarnies in the morning for work, with loads of mustard!!!

The challenge, is how long can you make a brisket last?????

Well it turned out really well! Threw in a can of beer, worcestershire sauce, mushroom ketchup (new one on me) bay leaves, carrots, onions and celery. Made a lovely gravy out of the juices and carved up the meat. It was fab, I hardly ever buy beef because it has always turned out tough. My husband couldnt get over it, it was that nice.

I looked for Brisket in Lidls today but didnt see any. Still have some left for sandwiches but it was only a small one so theres not much left. How much does a butcher sell it for?

Brisket is one of my favourite cuts of beef, plenty of flavour and the long slow cooking makes it so tender that even kids (and parents with no teeth)who dont/wont/cant chew eat it without a fuss

I always use mushroom ketchup as gravy in stews as I find stock cubes are too salty since I started to cut out salt. Look out for it on the reduced/end of range shelves and stock up when you find it, got my last batch at safeways for 30p a bottle.

It should be pretty cheap at a butchers, we dont have a butchers so i pick it up in the longer vac pack rolls that supermarkets do and cut it into smaller joints for freezing

I looked for brisket in Tesco today but they didnt have any. I bought mine in Asda but they only had small joints. Will have to try a butchers which I keep saying I'm going to do. Would you believe I've never ever bought meat in a butchers? Shameful really.

I thought the Kallo range of stock cubes were meant to be low salt, but when I checked them today in Tesco there was no difference in the sodium level to Oxo brand.

Got a bargain at Sommerfield yesterday, a nice peice of brisket for 1.20 instaead of 4.99 but don't really know what to do with it. Haven't got a slow cooker so can i roast it and if so, how? not used to coking beef cos can't usually afford it but i couldn't resist this. All ideas greatfully received. Thanks
