Marinated Beef Brisket
Whilst a longer cooking time is required for beef brisket, the wait is well worth it for boldly flavoured, tender beef. When paired with warmed tortillas and a crunchy winter slaw, expect a taste sensation that will have you coming back for more.

Beef:
Place the seeds and peppercorns in a small dry frying pan over medium heat and lightly toast – you will smell when they are toasted. Straightaway remove from the pan and leave to cool. Lightly crush the seeds and peppercorns (see tips) and mix with the brown sugar, paprika and cayenne pepper.
Place the beef brisket on a large plate and rub over the spice mixture. Cover and place in the fridge overnight.
The next day, remove beef brisket from the fridge and bring to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 150°C.
Place on a wire rack sitting inside a roasting dish. Pour in the beef stock then cover completely with foil and seal well.
Place in the oven and cook for 4½ - 5 hours. Baste brisket 2-3 times during cooking by spooning over the meat juices. The brisket should be very tender. Remove from the oven and season with salt.
To serve:
Slice beef thinly and place 2-3 slices on each tortilla, along with a coleslaw made using the cabbage, apple, red onion and sesame seeds. Serve with small dishes of mayonnaise and chipotle sauce for drizzling over. Top tortilla with chilli and pumpkin seeds. Finally squeeze over a little lime juice. Wrap up and eat.
