Tips
- NOTE: This recipe can only be made in the TM6 model of Thermomix as it uses the slow cook mode.
- Meat substitution - use beef mince or beef shin if brisket is unavailable.
- Vegetarian option - substitute brisket with mushrooms, lentils, or textured vegetable protein (TVP) for a plant-based version.
- Spice and heat adjustments - you can adjust the level of heat by adding more or less chilli powder, cayenne pepper, or smoked paprika to suit individual preferences.
- Beans and vegetables - try adding black beans or pinto beans for added texture and flavour. For a heartier dish, corn or courgette can be added.
- Meal ideas and leftovers - use some of the brisket chilli to make chilli nachos, chilli-stuffed peppers or as a filling for tacos or burritos. You can also serve it over baked potatoes or use it to top a chilli cheese dog.
- If you're able to get a coriander plant from the supermarket you'll be able to get some roots and the stalks, however, if it's only a packet of fresh coriander that you can get you'll only have the stalks which will be absolutely fine for the recipe.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes - you can substitute beef mince for brisket if you prefer a quicker cooking time. Simply brown the mince in the Thermomix using the high heat function, then follow the rest of the recipe, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
Cooking the brisket low and slow is key to achieving a tender texture. Use the slow cook mode on the Thermomix TM6 for the best results, and make sure to cook it for at least 4 to 6 hours. You can also shred the brisket once it’s cooked through and add it back to the sauce.
This recipe is designed for the TM6, which has a slow cooking feature. If you’re using a TM5 or TM31, you can still make the recipe, but you’ll need to adapt it by cooking the brisket on the hob or in a slow cooker, then finishing the chilli in the Thermomix.
Yes - you can make a vegetarian version by using mushrooms, lentils, or soy mince in place of the brisket. You can also add extra beans and vegetables like courgette, or corn for a hearty and flavourful dish.
Yes - beef brisket chilli is perfect for meal prep. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. The flavours often get better after a day or two in the fridge, making it ideal for leftovers.
Chilli con carne pairs well with rice, cornbread, tortilla chips, or baked potatoes. You can also serve it with toppings like sour cream, grated cheese, avocado, or fresh coriander.

Cookidoo Tips
- Clean and scrape down the roots of your coriander with a spoon to remove the tougher, more fibrous bits on the outside of the roots, before adding to the mixing bowl.
- You can grate cheddar cheese in your Thermomix®. Before step 1, place 150g cheese (cut into 2 to 3cm pieces) into the mixing bowl and grate 8 seconds/speed 7.
- If the meat is not cooked to your liking after 6.5 hours, continue to cook for the desired amount of time/90C/reverse/speed 0.5.
- If serving the chilli with corn chips, you may want to thicken the sauce with cornflour before serving. After cooking the kidney beans, place a small bowl onto the mixing bowl lid, weigh 50g water into it and add 1 tbsp cornflour. Stir to combine, then add to the mixing bowl and cook for 5 minutes/90C/reverse/speed 0.5, until thickened.
Ingredients
- 800g beef brisket, trimmed and cut into pieces (4cm) (see Tips)
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 1 to 2 pinches ground black pepper
- 20g fresh coriander roots and stalks, leaves reserved for garnishing (see Tips and Cookidoo Tips)
- 20g olive oil

- 180g peppers (red or yellow), deseeded and cut into pieces (2.5cm)
- 2 tsp cocoa powder

- 400g tin whole tomatoes (chopped tomatoes work well too)
- 1 tsp instant granulated coffee
- 400g canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained (approx. 250g after draining)
- sour cream, to serve
- grated cheddar cheese, to serve (see Cookidoo Tips)
Instructions
- Place a bowl onto the mixing bowl lid and weigh the beef into it. Add the oregano, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt and ground black pepper, then massage into the beef. Set aside.
- Place the coriander roots and stalks into the mixing bowl and chop 3 seconds/speed 7. Transfer into a separate bowl and set aside.
- Place the olive oil, onion and chillies (if using) into the mixing bowl and start High Temp.
- Re-insert the measuring cup and chop 3 seconds/speed 5.
- Add the peppers, cocoa powder, red wine vinegar, tomatoes, coffee and reserved spiced beef. Stir with aid of the spatula, then start Slow Cook/6 hours 30 minutes/90C (see Cookidoo Tips).
- Add the kidney beans and reserved chopped coriander, then cook 3 minutes/90C/reverse/speed 1. Divide between serving bowls, then garnish with coriander leaves and serve with sour cream and grated cheese.
- We enjoy ours with basmati rice and texas cornbread too!
Non-Thermomix Instructions
I'd suggest the recipe can easily be adapted to use a scales, chopping board, knife, grater and a slow cooker (if you have one).
My suggestions are as follows:
- Put the beef into a bowl and add the oregano, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt and ground black pepper, then massage into the beef. Set aside.
- Finely chop the coriander roots (if you have them) and stalks. Transfer to a separate bowl and set aside.
- Finely chop the red onion and chillies (if using).
- Heat the olive oil on a medium to high heat in a large frying pan. Add the chopped onions, and chillies and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Transfer the sautéed onions and chillies, along with the peppers, cocoa powder, red wine vinegar, tomatoes, coffee and reserved spiced beef to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6.5 hours until the beef is tender. Cook for longer if required.
- Add the kidney beans and reserved chopped coriander, then cook for a further 15 minutes. Divide between serving bowls, then garnish with coriander leaves and serve with sour cream and grated cheese.
- We enjoy ours with basmati rice and texas cornbread too!
