Calories: 327kcal
Ingredients
For the brisket
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 kg beef brisket trimmed and cut into 4 pieces
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 cup 250ml red wine
- 2 cups 500ml beef stock
- 2 cups 500ml water
- 3 cups 750ml tomato puree (passata)
- 6 bay leaves
For the sliders
- 4 small dinner rolls
- 1 carrot cut into matchsticks
- 1/4 small red cabbage shredded
- 1/2 small Granny Smith apple grated
- 2 tablespoons light coleslaw dressing
Instructions
For the brisket (make a day ahead or start the morning of)
- Heat half the oil in a large ovenproof heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add the beef and cook for 4–5 minutes each side or until browned. Remove from the pan and add to slow cooker.
- Add the remaining oil, the onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, for 4–5 minutes or until softened.
- Add the wine and cook for 3–4 minutes or until reduced by half. Add the stock, water, puree and bay leaves, season, and stir to combine. Transfer to the slow cooker with the beef.
- Cook on high in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours (8 is better if you have the time). Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking, to allow the sauce to reduce.
- Remove the beef from the sauce and place on a tray. Shred the meat using two forks then return to the sauce and stir to combine.
For the sliders
- Open the dinner rolls and spread lightly with butter.
- Combine the coleslaw ingredients with dressing in a small bowl.
- Add a scoop of beef, followed and top with coleslaw, before serving.
Notes
- If bread doesn't agree with you, this is still delicious with just the beef and coleslaw; or add it to a soft mini taco instead.
- If you're still on soft, use the beef brisket but serve with mash instead.
- The brisket will freeze for 3-4 months - just freeze it in 1 cup portions and defrost as necessary.
- The brisket recipe is adapted from Donnay Hay for use in a slow cooker, but you can use the oven as per the original recipe if you don't have a slow cooker.
- If you're feeding others, 2 bariatric serves are equal to one regular, non-sleeved serve. Use the slider above to adjust the serving sizes you need.
