Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Drain sweetcorn. Cut zucchini into bite-sized chunks. • In a baking dish, place slow-cooked beef brisket (including the packet liquid!) and 1/4 cup of water. • Cover baking dish with foil, then roast for 22 minutes. • SPICY! The spice blend is mild, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Remove brisket from oven. Uncover, then turn brisket over. Add corn, zucchini, tomato paste, Tex-Mex spice blend, black beans (including the can liquid!) and beef-style stock powder. Stir to combine. • Return to oven and roast, uncovered, until browned and heated through, a further 8-10 minutes.
TIP: The liquid from the black bean can will help season and thicken the sauce!
• Just before serving, microwave basmati rice until steaming, 2-3 minutes. • Divide rice between serving plates. Stir the butter through rice to melt. Set aside. • When the brisket is ready, shred or slice directly in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Top buttery rice with Tex-Mex beef brisket. • Dollop over light sour cream. • Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese to serve. Enjoy!
