Grilled Sliced Brisket

This grilled sliced brisket offers a lighter, quicker alternative to the traditionally slow-roasted joint. By freezing the beef before slicing, you can achieve incredibly thin, uniform pieces that cook in seconds over a high heat. This method preserves the rich, savoury flavour of the beef while creating a delicious char that pairs beautifully with fresh salads or roasted vegetables.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this dish is naturally high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for a balanced lifestyle. Cooking the brisket quickly on the grill allows the natural fats to render slightly without the need for heavy sauces or added sugars. It is an effortless yet impressive main course for a healthy midweek dinner or a summer barbecue.
