Brisket Sandwiches

[Broomcroft]

One thing I find with dexter beef is that if it's very well finished, fatty cuts like brisket can be a bit too fatty. Caroline made a stew recently and I took the brisket out after we'd eaten as much as we could, let it go cold, cut a lot of the fat away and sliced it for sandwiches.

WOW, what flavour! The best beef sandwich I've ever had in my life without any doubt.

Yes I very much agree. I've also had some fabulous cold beef sandwiches from the slower roasting joints, done with red wine (in a glass as well as with the joint).

We have just been staying with our son and daughter in law as they have a new baby and we have been lending a hand. We took a peice of dexter brisket and I did a pot roast, I think they were a bit crestfallen that it was brisket until they ate it! Then they asked for me to do it again next time and for the recipe!!! Stephanie :D

Best beef sarnies I have ever eaten were from salt tongue, out of this world and by far and away the most delicious cut of beef. I also did some dexter brisket at the sametime, same method, wow fantastic, as clive said fatty but done this way it makes no difference.

My favourite brisket is roasted & then sliced thinly on the bacon slicer & made into butties with a dab of horseradish.

I once cooked brisket over an open fire in a 'cauldron' oven - it had picked up some of the wood smokey flavour - bliss.
