Ingredients
  • 2 tsp ground coffee
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp soft light brown sugar
  • 1.3kg beef brisket, unrolled
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 300ml beer
  • Sweet potato mash, to serve
  • Cabbage, to serve
Method

  • Combine the coffee, spices, garlic and sugar to make a rub. Use to coat the unrolled brisket, pressing on all sides to cover the whole surface. Leave in the fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  • Pre-heat the oven to 130C/110C Fan/Gas 1.

  • Spread the onion over the middle of a roasting tray. Put the brisket on top and pour the beer around the base, being careful not to wash off any of the rub.

  • Cover with foil and roast for 4 hours or until the meat can be pulled apart easily with a fork. Serve with sweet potato mash and cabbage.
