Batch-cooking saves time, money and stress – but that doesn’t mean your meals have to taste like leftovers. With a single slow-cooked Woolworths brisket, you can create three different meals that taste like you spent hours in the kitchen (spoiler: you won’t). Whether you’re feeding a crowd or stocking the freezer, brisket is a smart, flavour-forward base for so many weeknight wonders.
Woolworths’ beef brisket is made for slow-cooking. It’s beautifully marbled, expertly trimmed and turns meltingly tender after a few hours in the oven or slow-cooker. As with all Woolies' beef, it comes from pasture-raised cattle that are never treated with routine antibiotics or growth stimulants. It's just honest, great-tasting meat.
Start by slow-cooking the brisket in stock, tomatoes and hardy herbs until it’s tender enough to shred with a fork. Enjoy a generous serving with mash or samp, then transform the rest into new meals with just a few quick additions.
Brisket pie
Addition: Woolworths all-butter puff pastry
This is everything you want from comfort food. Tender, slow-cooked brisket topped with golden, flaky pastry, served straight from the oven. It’s cosy, rich and deeply satisfying, with barely any effort after the initial cook.
Pulled brisket tacos
Additions: Tortilla wraps + cheese + guacamole + pickled red onions
Pulled brisket is folded into soft tortillas with cheese, then pan-seared until golden and melty. Serve with guac and salsa for the ultimate midweek reward.
Pulled brisket pasta
Addition: Woolworths bronze-die cut pasta
This one’s pure comfort in a bowl. Toss the rich, saucy brisket through al dente pasta, finish with a grating of Parmesan, and you’ve got dinner on the table in minutes. No fuss, just big flavour and a very happy household.
