beef brisket 1.2kg

oven french fries to serve

pickles to serve

DRY RUB

garlic granules 2 tsp

smoked paprika 2 tsp

mustard powder 1 tsp

sea salt flakes 2 tsp GLAZE

Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp

soft light brown sugar 1 tbsp

smoked paprika ½ tsp

dijon mustard 1 tbsp

BLUE CHEESE SLAW

carrots 500g, shredded or grated

white cabbage 500g, finely shredded

white wine vinegar 1 tbsp

sea salt flakes 1 tsp

roquefort 100g, rind trimmed

mayonnaise 5 tbsp

soured cream 100g

chives a small bunch, chopped

white pepper

Untie the brisket if tied. Pat dry with kitchen paper then put in a ceramic dish. Mix together the rub ingredients and sprinkle all over the meat, rubbing it in. Chill overnight and remove the brisket from the fridge an hour before you want to cook it.

Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Put two large sheets of foil in a baking tin in the shape of a cross. Sit the brisket in the middle and pour 300ml of water in the bottom. Bring the foil up and around the brisket to make a snug tent and cook for 4 hours.

While the brisket is in the oven, make the slaw. Put the veg in a large bowl and sprinkle over the vinegar and salt. Toss together. Mash the cheese in a bowl then gradually mix in the mayo, soured cream and chives. Add to the slaw and toss together. Season with white pepper.
