Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Drain the sweetcorn. • In a baking dish, place slow-cooked beef brisket (including the packet liquid!) and the water (see ingredients). Cover with foil, then roast for 22 minutes. • SPICY! The Tex-Mex spice blend is mild, but use less if you're sensitive to heat! Remove brisket from oven. Uncover, then turn brisket over. Add corn kernels, tomato paste, Tex-Mex spice blend, red kidney beans (including the liquid from the tin!) 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 tin will help season and thicken the sauce!

• Just before serving, heat microwavable basmati rice in the microwave 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. Stir through baby spinach leaves until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Suggestions: Several recommended using gravy beef instead of brisket for easier shredding and better tenderness when slow-cooked.
  • Portions: Some felt the meat portion was small; consider adding more brisket or serving with jacket potatoes for a heartier meal.
