Brisket - what did I do wrong?
Discussion
I picked up a bit of beef brisket, which today I've given 7 hours in the slow cooker with some red wine, onion and chilli.
Unfortunately it has come out a bit chewy. I was expecting it to be nice and tender, a bit like pulled pork.
Have I done it wrong, or is it just not that kind of cut?
By contrast, yesterday's BBQ ribs were spot on.

Chances are you didn't cook it low or long enough. Red wine can also make it tough.
I bought a cheap piece of brisket the other week. £4 from Asda if I recall.
Pot roasted on a trivet of celery, carrot and onion in the slow cooker (for 10 hours or so) it was lovely and sufficed for a few meals including a rather hearty beef broth.
Looks awful though - hence no pics.
