Recipes Main Courses
Brisket is the king of BBQ. It's a tough muscle full of connective tissue that can only be tamed by the 'low & slow' technique—roasting at low temperature for a long time. During the process, tough parts turn into juicy gelatin, making the meat tender.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Deep roasting tin
  • Aluminium foil
  • Meat thermometer (recommended)

Allergen Information

⚠️ None (check BBQ sauce)

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Rub thoroughly into the meat on all sides.

Tip: Salt starts drawing moisture from the surface, helping form a crispy crust (bark) later.
2 ✓

Roughly chop the onion and garlic, sauté in oil, then mix in BBQ sauce, sugar, and stock.

Tip: Stock provides steam during roasting, preventing drying out.
3 ✓

Place meat in a roasting tin, pour sauce underneath (not on meat!), and seal tightly with foil. Roast at 150-160°C for 3-4 hours.

Tip: Steam space created under foil (braising) accelerates breakdown of connective tissues.
4 ✓

Check tenderness: if a fork slides in without resistance, remove foil and roast another 15 minutes to form a crust.

Tip: After removing foil, surface moisture evaporates and spices harden.
5 ✓

Remove from oven and rest on a board for 20 minutes before carving.

Tip: If carved hot, all precious juices run out onto the board, leaving the meat dry.

Recipe FAQ

Why isn't it tender after 4 hours?
Brisket needs time. If meat temperature stalls (the 'stall'), wrap in foil to steam in its own juices.
Why rest it?
During roasting, muscle fibres contract and squeeze out moisture. Resting allows them to relax and juices to redistribute.
