Leftover brisket

[aberdeeneuan]

Guys, need some inspiration. I slow cooked a brisket at the weekend (red wine, stock, veg, bay etc) and have a ton left. Also have a ton of gravy left. Obvious option is stew right? So how can I jazz it up a bit so it’s not the same but in smaller bits!

Put it in a suet crusted pie with some buttered mushrooms

Chilli. I never bother using mince anymore for chilli, always brisket.

I've tried the following:

made cottage pie

adding mexican spices and fried up with some refried beans, salsa and guac in tortillas

lots of paprika and fennel seed and making a pasta sauce

One that I want to do next time is making pasties with some veg and potatoes and lottsss of pepper

I probably wouldn't make a chilli out of brisket that's already cooked.

As someone else said chuck it in a pie.

I quite like getting pre made puff and making Greggs style pasties out of leftovers.

They would be the best steak bakes you've ever had .

Brisket croquettes. Take a ball of brisket, surround it in some mashed potato, dust in seasoned flour, dip in egg then breadcrumbs. Fry until golden serve with a pot of gravy. And some veg if you really have to.

Leftfield option. Thai beef salad for me.

Shred some little gem lettuce, some peppers, ribbon a courgette and half a cucumber with a peeler, add some quartered cherry tomatoes, add a couple of chopped spring onions stir through some shredded mint and coriander and shred the cold beef on top.

Make the dressing out of some fish sauce, lime juice, chopped birds eye chilli and sugar. pour over salad. Top the dish with some toasted, crushed peanuts.

ETA: Just noticed the gravy bit. I freeze any left over stew liquid/gravy. It makes a great 'starter' for your next sunday roast gravy.

Cheers guys, knew I could rely on you! Cottage pie is a good shout, that'll win though I'm definitely hiding some of the leftovers and making steak bakes!!!
