DIFFICULTY: EASY

INGREDIENTS:

For the Brisket Filling:

• 1.5kg brisket, trimmed and cut into three pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, sliced
• 2 sticks celery, cut into large cubes
• 1 carrot, cut into large cubes
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 3 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 cup (250ml) red wine

• 2 cups (500ml) beef stock

For the Puff Pastry Crust:

• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin your culinary adventure by preheating your oven to 140°C (fan-forced), setting the stage for the slow-cooking magic that’s about to unfold.
2. Heat a large ovenproof casserole dish over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the brisket on both sides until they achieve a glorious golden-brown hue. Once they’re perfectly browned, transfer the brisket to a plate and allow them to rest, building up anticipation for the succulent flavors ahead.
3. In the same casserole dish, add the finely chopped onion, sliced garlic, celery, and carrot. Sauté them for about 3 minutes, letting their aroma fill the air and their flavors meld together. Introduce the smoked paprika and ground cumin to the mix, allowing them to dance with the other ingredients for an additional minute.
4. It’s time to pour in the red wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow the wine to work its magic as it reduces by half, infusing the dish with its rich depth of flavor.
5. Add the Rosella Organic Tomato Sauce and beef stock to the casserole dish, inviting the brisket back to the party. Cover the dish and let it work its culinary alchemy in the oven for 3-3½ hours. As the brisket slowly cooks, it will transform into a tender and easily shredded delight.
6. Remove the tenderized brisket from the sauce and set it aside, allowing it to rest while you focus on elevating the sauce. Simmer the sauce on the stovetop for 5-10 minutes, letting it reduce and thicken, ready to envelop the pulled beef in a flavorful embrace.
7. With the brisket expertly shredded, it’s time to reunite it with the luscious sauce. Toss the shredded meat in the sauce until every morsel is coated, ensuring that each bite bursts with delectable flavor.
8. Prepare to bring your pie masterpiece to life by increasing the oven temperature to 200°C (fan-forced), signaling the final stretch of your culinary journey.
9. Assemble your puff pastry crust: Brush the top edge and one side of one sheet of puff pastry with the beaten egg. Cut the other sheet of pastry in half, attaching one half to the top and the other half to the side of the whole pastry sheet, forming an “L” shape. Gently press the layers together to create a seamless and inviting crust.
10. Now, with the confidence of a culinary artist, drape the pastry over the beef filling, tucking and crimping the edges to fit the pan. To ensure your pie bakes to perfection, brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg and make a small slit in the center to allow steam to escape.
11. Slide your masterpiece into the oven and bake it for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry becomes a resplendent golden-brown and exudes a tantalizing crispness.
12. As you eagerly await your creation’s debut, prepare to serve the One-Pot Pulled Beef Brisket Pie straight from the oven. To add an extra layer of indulgence, drizzle some of the Rosella Organic Tomato Sauce over the top, elevating each slice to a symphony of flavors that will warm your heart and nourish your soul.
