Brisket is a lesser-used cut of meat that loves long, slow cooking. Add a little Southern-style spice to the pot, and you’ve got the makings of a succulent pulled meat to serve in buns with coleslaw, or with mash and vegies on the side. - Greer Worsley

Recipe Notes

If you find the sauce in the slow cooker has reduced too much and dried out, you can stir a couple of tablespoons of good-quality barbecue sauce through the pulled brisket prior to serving.

Double up the recipe to feed a crowd - pulled brisket makes great and easy party food, especially in winter when the barbecue is out of action.
