Cooking Instructions

If held frozen, defrost thoroughly before cooking.

About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the meat from its packaging and pat dry with kitchen paper to allow the beef to come to room temperature.

Pre-heat the oven to 160C/150C fan/Gas 4

Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a casserole dish, when hot, brown the meat all over.

Add any vegetables and stock to the pan, once simmering put on the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for between 2 and 4 hours depending on the cut and your oven, but as a rule, try to check the brisket after an hour and regular intervals after. Make sure to turn the beef around in the casserole dish to ensure it is moist all over and the vegetables are not sticking to the bottom.

When cooked remove from the oven and place the brisket on a chopping board and cover this in foil.

Once, suitably rested this can then be sliced.

This a guide only, cooking time varies depending on the cut and oven. Ensure the product is cooked thoroughly before eating.
