Honey Sriracha Brisket Burgers

Beef brisket is cooked low and slow until it pulls apart easily, then flavoured with honey and Sriracha for a sweet-and-spicy finish. Piled into warm brioche buns with quick pickled carrot, mayonnaise and fresh coriander, it becomes a generous, messy burger worth the wait. A slow cooker or oven gives steadier heat than the stovetop, where the meat can catch on the base of the pan. Warm tortillas work just as well as buns, and for entertaining the same filling can be served in dinner rolls as sliders. Potato wedges on the side round it out.

Ingredients
  

  • Brisket
  • Beef brisket — quantity not specified
  • Honey — quantity not specified
  • Sriracha — quantity not specified
  • Pickled Carrot
  • Carrot — quantity not specified
  • Pickling ingredients — quantities not specified
  • To Serve
  • Burger buns — preferably brioche
  • Mayonnaise
  • Fresh coriander
  • Potato wedges — optional

Equipment

  • Large heavy-based pan
  • Slow cooker or oven — optional alternative

Method
 

  1. Place the brisket in a heavy-based pan and cook slowly on the stovetop until the meat becomes very tender and falls apart easily.
  2. Add honey and Sriracha to flavour the brisket.
  3. Continue cooking slowly until the brisket is tender and can be pulled apart.
  4. Prepare the pickled carrot shortly before serving.
  5. Mix or prepare the mayonnaise for serving.
  6. Warm the brioche buns or tortillas.
  7. Pull the tender brisket apart and assemble the burgers with the pickled carrot, mayonnaise and fresh coriander.
  8. Serve with potato wedges if desired.

Notes

The brisket can also be prepared in a slow cooker or oven. The original stovetop cooking caused the meat to catch slightly on the bottom, so using a lower, more controlled heat is recommended.
Brioche buns work particularly well, although warm tortillas can also be used. For entertaining, the burgers can be made into smaller versions using dinner rolls.
