02-07 Remix Your Brisket

02/ Stuff it in a toasted bun with crunchy pickles and red chilli for a quick, protein-heavy lunch. The pickles will help to replace lost electrolytes after training.

03/ Or make tacos: shred and serve with diced red onion, tomatoes and coriander. (Cheese and sour cream optional, but advised.)

04/ Add slices of brisket to a steaming pho or ramen, along with crunchy vegetables and a whole boiled egg for a nutrient-dense blend of carbs and protein. 05/ Leftover brisket can be enjoyed the next day for breakfast, served with hash browns and a fried egg.

06/ For a portable, jerky-like snack, make

“burnt ends”. Remove the point-end of the brisket, cube and toss in a sugary BBQ sauce before returning to the smoker so it caramelises to form gnarly nuggets.

07/ Overcooked it?

Then make croquettes: shred the meat, simmer in stock until soft, add diced shallots, BBQ sauce and parsley. Press into a sheet pan and chill to solidify. Cut to size, panée and fry. Serve with a fresh green salad.
