Father’s day is just two Sundays away! Still undecided on what to get him? Why not prepare him a delicious meal the whole family can enjoy and claim your title as the daughter or son of the year with this super yummy burger and slaw recipe?
Serves 8
Prep 25 minutes (plus 15 minutes standing)
Cook 8 hours 10 minutes (or 4 hours 10 minutes on high)
You’ll need a 5.7litre slow cooker for this recipe, such as this Crockpot.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1.5kg piece beef brisket
1/2 cup golden syrup
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce, plus extra to serve
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
8 bread rolls, warmed, split
Sliced dill pickles, to serve
Pineapple Slaw
150g green cabbage, finely shredded
150g red cabbage, finely shredded
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 small (400g) pineapple, peeled, cut into matchsticks
1 small carrot, grated
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill sprigs
Method
1 Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat (see note). Cook beef for 5 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer beef to slow cooker.
2 Combine golden syrup, barbecue sauce, paprika and garlic powder in a small bowl. Pour over beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4 hours), turning beef every 2 hours until very tender.
3 Make Pineapple Slaw: Toss cabbages and vinegar together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 15 minutes to soften slightly. Add pineapple, carrot, onion and dill. Toss to combine.
4 Transfer beef to a board. Remove and discard excess fat. Using 2 forks, shred beef. Return to sauce in cooker. Toss to coat.
5 Divide slaw among roll bases. Top with beef, pickles and extra barbecue sauce. Sandwich with roll tops. Serve.
Cook’s note: If your slow cooker bowl is flameproof, use it to brown off the beef instead of a frying pan.
