Yes. I usually put in some carrots, leeks, onions. Sit the beef on the vegetables add stock & red wine and cook low and slow. Hubby said it's delicious.

Brisket is a great cut for slow cooking, so yes!

Skirt is another cut that I like for making a stew.

If you brine it for a few days, then boil it slowly for a couple of hours and let it cool. Pop a weight on it in the fridge and you have salt beef which is brilliant for sandwiches with mustard and pickle.

Slightly off topic but I just thought I'd mention it.

Absolutley in the slow cooker. It's about the only way to cook brisket, certainly the best in my opinion. A monthly staple at ours, usually cooked in ale.

Yes same as above, but we also put garlic in the beef too, silverside is another cut that does well, sometimes I also put a rump joint in too.

Best flavour you will ever have, We also do Lamb in ours, had it yesterday, mmm lovely.

I do not use a slow cooker anymore as it is buried in the garage somewhere, and would slow-cook on the gas hob in a pan instead.

Gas hob on for hours on end? Unattended?

Picked up brisket by mistake instead of a roasting joint.Still roasted it though and yes it was tough.Two days later chopped it up for a caserol/stew.Never buying cut up stewing steak again.The tast of Brisket is loads better.

Of course not!

Learnt my lesson the hard way. I was making a soup, and had to go out to do some shopping, instructed (now ex) hubby to keep an eye on it and to keep stirring to prevent sticking.

He fell asleep, resulted in burnt soup, and I had to scrub the pan for ages to get all the charred bits off!

I bet you some people may though!
