Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket Barbacoa
Barbacoa is all about low-and-slow. The brisket is cooked down for 24 hours until it's meltingly tender, rich and deeply spiced with cumin and garlic. We've balanced it with bright, citrusy black bean rice - fragrant with kaffir lime and fresh coriander - plus charred fajita veg and a roasted tomato salsa that ties it all together.

Tell me when Slow-Cooked Beef Brisket Barbacoa changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
