Ingredients
Method
Combine chilli, spices and sugar in a small bowl. Brush beef all over with 1 tablespoon of the sauce; sprinkle spice mixture all over beef to coat.
Heat oil in a 4.5-litre (18-cup) slow cooker on sear (HIGH) setting. Cook beef for 3 minutes each side or until well browned. Add stock; cook, covered, on low, for 7 hours.
Remove beef brisket from slow cooker; rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Add remaining sauce to juices in cooker. Increase heat to reduce setting on medium; bring to the boil.
Just before serving, make silverbeet slaw. Whisk oil, vinegar and honey in a large jug to combine. Place remaining ingredients in a large bowl; drizzle with dressing, toss to combine. Season to taste.
Boil, steam or microwave corn until tender; drain. Combine butter, garlic, coriander and extra chilli in a small bowl. Spread corn with butter mixture.
Slice beef brisket thinly; serve beef drizzled with sauce, accompanied with corn and slaw.
