Rich, tender and full of deep flavour, this beef brisket recipe is all about that slow-cooked goodness. The result is juicy meat with a satisfying, hearty taste that makes every serving worth it.

Ingredients

  • 1 (1.5 kg) beef brisket, trimmed of fat
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 (340 g) bottle tomato-based chili sauce
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar

Method

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Season brisket on all sides with salt and pepper and place in a glass baking dish. Cover with a layer of sliced onion.
  • Mix beer, chili sauce, and brown sugar together in a medium bowl. Pour over beef brisket. Cover the dish tightly with aluminium foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours. Remove the aluminium foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Let brisket rest and cool slightly before slicing and returning to the dish. Reheat in the oven with the sauce spooned over the sliced meat.
  1. Fluffy pancakes

These fluffy pancakes are made to give you that light, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Each bite feels warm and comforting, making them a timeless favourite. It’s an easy recipe that guarantees a perfect stack every time.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp oil

Method

  • Mix dry ingredients in bowl.
  • In separate bowl beat egg, milk and oil until combined and pour into dry ingredients.
  • Stir just until combined (batter may still be slightly lumpy).
  • Cook on lightly greased hot skillet over medium heat for approximately 2 minutes on each side.
  1. Lemon pepper wings

These lemon-pepper wings bring together crispy chicken and a bold blend of citrus and spice. The light coating and flavourful seasoning create that perfect balance of tangy and savoury in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1 ½ cups butter
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 parsely (chopped)
  • 4 tbsp lemon juice

Method

  • Pat the wings completely dry with paper towels. This helps them crisp up properly.
  • In a small bowl, combine the baking powder and lemon pepper seasoning. Toss the wings until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer, leaving space between each piece.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake the wings for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • Add lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, honey, and parsley. Stir to combine.
  • Let the sauce come together until smooth and combined.
  • Pour the sauce over the wings
  • Toss or brush to coat.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
