🌮 Pulled Mexican Beef Brisket (Serves 4)

Ingredients

  • 800g beef brisket

  • Mexican paste

  • 2 oranges (juice + zest)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 cup beef stock (or water)

  • Olive oil, salt & pepper

Method

  1. Marinate the brisket – Rub the brisket with the Mexican paste, zest of 1 orange, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 30 mins (overnight if you can for deeper flavour).

  2. Brown the meat – Heat a heavy pot or Dutch oven with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the brisket on all sides until golden brown.

  3. Add the flavour base – Pour in the juice of both oranges and the beef stock. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any caramelised bits.

  4. Slow cook – Cover and cook on low heat for 3–4 hours (or 6–7 hours in a slow cooker) until the brisket is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

  5. Shred & serve – Pull the beef apart with two forks, mix back into the sauce, and let it soak up all that rich, zesty flavour.
