Cooking Steps

Roast the brisket
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Place slow-cooked beef brisket in a baking dish.
• Pour liquid from packaging and the soy sauce over 
beef. Cover with foil and roast for 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Uncover, then turn over  
beef and spread over ginger lemongrass paste  
(see ingredients).
• Roast, uncovered, until browned and heated 
through, 8-10 minutes.  

Roast the corn
2

• While beef is roasting, cut corn cob in half.
• Place corn on a lined oven tray.
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and  
toss to coat.
• Roast until tender and slightly charred,  
15-20 minutes.
• Remove from oven, set aside and cover to  
keep warm. 

Pickle the cucumber
3

• Slice cucumber into thin sticks.
• In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good 
pinch of sugar and salt.
• Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add enough water 
to just cover cucumber. Set aside. 
TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle 
faster!  

Make the salad
4

• SPICY! Use less sriracha if you’re sensitive to heat! 
When brisket has 10 minutes remaining, in a small 
bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sriracha.  
Set aside.
• Thinly slice long chilli (if using).
• Roughly chop coriander.
• In a large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, 
coriander, chilli and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to 
taste with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle salad with crushed peanuts. 

Heat the bao buns
5

• Place gua bao buns on a microwave-safe plate and 
cover with a damp paper towel.
• Microwave on high for 1 minute. Set aside to rest for 
1 minute. 

Finish & serve
6

• Shred beef brisket using two forks, then stir through 
sweet chilli sauce. 
• Drain pickled cucumber.
• Uncover, then gently halve buns and fill with pickled 
cucumber and lemongrass beef brisket.
• Bring everything to the table to serve.
• Serve baos with corn cob and salad. 
• Drizzle sriracha mayo over the corn to serve. Enjoy!
