Ingredients For the smoked brisket beef 2 kg brisket beef 2 litres water 200 gms carrots 200 gms onion 50 gms whole garlic 100 gms celery 100 gms leek 10 gms fresh thyme 1¾ tspn salt 200 gms fresh fennel seeds 2 cubes of beef stock To make three brisket burgers, you will need 80 gms smoked brisket 3 tbsp barbecue sauce 3 tbsp miso mayo or Japanese mayonnaise 2 tbsp pickled onion (Slice red onions and pickle in a hot brine of water and rice vinegar) 2 tbsp crispy onion 3 piece mini potato bun Half a baby gem lettuce 1 sp salt 1 tsp pepper powder Method Start by adding the aromatics and seasonings for the beef brisket into a deep pan and cook the beef for six hours on low heat. This helps the meat absorb the flavours as it cooks. Remove the beef from the stock and rest the beef for an hour. The stock can be cooled and stored in the freezer to be used later in recipes like soups. Next, to smoke the beef, place it on a grill for 5 minutes until it caramalises. Start by trimming the brisket into slices, and season with salt, pepper, and paprika flakes. Coat with barbecue sauce. Place it back on the barbecue or hot plate until caramelised. Next, toast a brioche bun and spread a mix of mayo miso and rice vinegar sauce. Top with some pickled onions, gem lettuce, sliced brisket, and crispy onions.
