Recipe Slow Cooked Beef Brisket with Onions

Ingredients :

• 4 lb/2kg piece of brisket
• plain flour for dusting
• sea salt and black pepper
• beef dripping or vegetable oil
• tomato paste/puree
• 4 large onions
• 4 carrots, peeled
• 2-3 garlic cloves

Method :

1. In the UK joints of brisket usually come ready rolled, and for this recipe you need a flat piece, so just snip the string and unroll. Dust both sides of the beef with flour and lots of black pepper. Heat the oil or dripping in a large frying pan. Preheat your slow cooker
2. Sear the beef in the pan on all sides, then set aside. Add the onions to the pan, with more fat if necessary.
3. Fry the onions until soft and staring to turn golden brown, then transfer to the warmed slow cooker.
4. Spread tomato paste on top of the beef, I used about 3 tbsp, as if you were icing a cake. Place the beef on top of the onions.
5. Add the peeled carrots, still whole, and the garlic cloves (whole and unpeeled) to the slow cooker. Add two big pinches of salt, and more black pepper.
6. Cover with the lid and cook for 1 and a half hours, then remove the beef from the slow cooker and cut into thick slices. Place back in the cooker, in the same shape as it was before.
7. Cook for another 2 and a half to2 hours until the meat is meltingly tender. By this time you"ll have a rich onion gravy.
8. I served the slices of beef with roast potatoes and peas.
