- Preheat oven to gas 2, 150°C, fan 130°C.
- Combine the garlic, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, paprika and seasoning and rub all over the brisket. Place in a medium, deep baking tray and pour round the wine and 200ml water. Seal tightly with foil and for 2½-3 hrs or until tender.
- For a delicious smoky finish, after cooking in the oven (before slicing) take the joint of beef out of the tray and lay on the hottest part of the barbecue. Cook undisturbed for 1 min. Carefully turn the meat and continue to cook for a further 4-5 mins, turning occasionally to ensure an even colour.
- For the sauce, blitz the garlic and chillies until they form a paste. Add to a pan with a litte oil and cook on medium until starting to brown. Add the lemon and orange juice, sugar and 100ml water, and cook for 5 mins until the liquid starts to evaporate.
- Add the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil. Cook for 20 mins or until the sauce has darkened slightly and thickened. Serve spooned over the brisket slices.
- Tip: If you're barbecuing for lots of people, cook the meat in the oven first then finish it on the barbecue for flavour and to ensure that it is thoroughly cooked. This is particularly important for burgers, sausages, pork and poultry.
