Mothership Sunday roast brisket
Roast beef is the ultimate treat, but brisket is your thrifty friend – it's a forgiving, wonderful cut of beef with amazing flavour, whether you go for juicy, carveable slices or shreds of beautiful pulled meat. You can get a 1kg piece from the supermarket, but it's best to get 2kg from your butcher and make amazing things out of the leftovers.
