  • 100g thick-cut rindless bacon, cut across into strips
  • 50g butter

Method: How to make pot-roasted brisket

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/fan130°C/gas 2. Heat the oil in a casserole large enough to snugly fit everything. Season the brisket all over, add to the casserole and brown on all sides. Lift out onto a plate. Add the bacon and fry briefly until golden brown. Set aside on another plate. Pour away any excess oil.

2. Melt the butter in the casserole over a medium heat. Add the vegetables and herbs. Season. Cook gently for a few minutes until lightly browned. Add the brisket, bacon and stock, then cover with foil and a tight-fitting lid and cook in the oven for 2-2 1/2 hours.

3. Put the brisket on a board and carve thin slices. Skim excess oil from the casserole and boil for a couple of minutes. Serve with the juices and mustard.

Drink note

Don't overdo it with a heavy red – a good quality, juicy Beaujolais hits just the right note.
