Date Night Slow Cooked Pulled Brisket With Red Wine

Welcome to my date night slow cooked pulled brisket with red wine recipe.

Even though we are food bloggers we must confess that we don’t eat that much red meat, or we don’t eat as much as we would like to. The closest we get to have some beef will be the minced beef that we use in a lot of our pasta dishes and that is about it.

Normally if we want a big beef kick we will go out for a nice family Brazilian that always offers so much better value for money than us buying beef and cooking it ourselves.

When you do the maths and you pay less than 60€ as a family of four for a Brazilian barbeque and you get as many slices of different beef as you like, plus pudding, plus drinks and plus sides you can probably see why we don’t buy it ourselves.

We also live in Portugal and the obsession here is with the chicken and the pork. It’s very much all about the white meat and with chicken and pork being so cheap nobody seems to show an interest in beef. This means that a lot of the different cuts of meat that we are interested in are just not available here. You usually have to go to a specific butcher in order to get some.
