Simple Dinners: Firecracker beef brisket jackets

A twist on the classic baked potato, these firecracker jackets topped with tender sous vide Shredded Beef Brisket make the kitchen feel a little more exciting than when you’re prepping your standard jacket and beans. The magic lies in the firecracker sauce – a blend of sweet chilli, soy, and fruity spices create an explosion of flavour that isn’t overwhelmingly hot but still packs a sweet and tangy punch.

Easy

• 1 pack Field & Flower Shredded Beef Brisket (350g)
• 4 medium-sized baking potatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 60g sweet chilli sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Garnish with chopped fresh chives or green onions

1. Wash and scrub the baking potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry and pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

2. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Rub the potatoes with olive oil and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

3. Open the pack of sous vide shredded beef brisket and heat in a pan.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Adjust the red pepper flakes to your desired level of heat.

5. Toss the warmed shredded beef with the firecracker sauce until it’s evenly coated.

6. Cut open each baked potato and fluff the insides with a fork. Spoon a generous amount of the firecracker shredded beef over each potato.

7. Sprinkle chopped fresh chives or green onions over the top and serve.
