Introduction
I created this recipe last year as I cook brisket all the time in the slow cooker but I thought I’d try it with mulled wine for a festive vibe. The result was just delicious, with a mild sweetness and super-rich depth of flavour. I find the slow cooker elevates any flavour to an entirely new level.

Heat a nonstick frying pan over a high heat on the hob, then place the beef in the pan and sear on all sides until just browned all over. Place all the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker, stir, then turn the meat in the liquid to coat and season to taste. Cook on high for 7–8 hours. Shred the meat with two forks.
Serve with mashed potatoes and seasonal veg.
