Brisket leftovers

Post by chokethechicken »

I have a small amount of brisket leftovers. Probably enough to make another meal for three people.

Any good chill or ragu recipes you can suggest? Maybe a brisket BBQ bean dish to serve with some ribs tomorrow?

This doesn't sound as good as it is but it's worth a leap of faith.

Fry some chopped celery, green pepper, onion and red chillies in a heavy pan.

Add chopped brisket and crushed garlic.

After a few minutes, season with fajita seasoning and a little s&p and add some tinned sweet corn.

Add a packet of uncle ben's microwave Mexican rice(break it up in the sachet first. S

tir in some tinned chopped tomato and grated cheese.

Transfer to an oven dish and top with bread crumbs

Bake in a hot oven for 15 mins.

It's good.

Adding chorizo and/or bacon is also good.

Add fajita seasoning after hours of smoking?

Is it not easier just to add oven roast beef if all the extra seasoning?

Only if you have left over roast beef in this case its left over brisket!
Doubtless it would work equally well athough the taste would be different.

Im gonna try this

I guess you could also miss out the rice, tomato, cheese, breadcrumbs and just enjoy in fajitas with some guacamole

Would be interested to know if anybody ever freezes their brisket, whole or sliced/diced?

I do freeze brisket slices, but i do notice that it will come out more dry when reheated than if i was reheating from chilled.

Yup, but I meant a waste of Xhrs smoking a brisket to then re-reason with fajita spice.

It can be done, equally I can make beef sandwiches out if a fine leftover fillet but wouldn't.

Maybe just me, anyway.

Steve, does this help perfect the SHANK - that we spoke about on several occasions? :lol: :lol:

The whole point was a question of using up leftover brisket. The addition of any further spices & seasoning changes the flavours and Steve has obviously found this works well for him, I really can't see your objections to his adding more/different flavours?
