Instructions

Cook the Vegetables:

Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over low heat.
Step 2
Add the white onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until golden and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Deglaze the pan with 1 & 1/2 cup vegan ale or vegetable broth, letting it simmer for 3 minutes while stirring.

Blend Wet Ingredients:

Step 4
In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed mushroom mixture with soy sauce, sugar, tahini, smoked paprika, cumin, ginger powder, salt, pasta sauce, tofu, dried thyme, and black pepper.
Step 5
Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside.

Prepare the Dough:

Step 6
In a stand mixer with a dough hook, add vital wheat gluten.
Step 7
Pour in the blended wet mixture and mix on medium speed for 10 minutes until a firm, elastic dough forms.

Shape and Season:

Step 8
Turn the dough onto a work surface and shape into a long rectangle, about 1 inch thick, using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 9
Mix the spice rub ingredients (salt, smoked paprika, cumin) and rub evenly over the dough.

Wrap and Cook:

Step 10
Wrap the dough tightly in greaseproof paper, followed by 2-3 layers of cling film.
Step 11
Fill a large saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil.
Step 12
Place the wrapped dough in the water, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 3 hours. Ensure the water simmers gently, not boils rapidly.

Cool and Unwrap:

Step 13
Remove the brisket from the water (it should feel firm). Let it cool slightly, then unwrap.

Sear and Glaze:

Step 14
Heat a large cast-iron pan or grill over medium heat with a little olive oil.
Step 15
Sear the brisket on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 16
Brush sweet and spicy barbecue sauce over the top while searing.
Step 17
Optionally, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to heat through.

Serve

Step 18
Slice the brisket and serve hot
