Brisket Plate Lunch
In Hawai’i the humble ‘plate lunch’ is a staple. Really a plate lunch can be eaten any time of day, it originated with the plantation workers. A plate lunch has 3 components: protein, rice, and mac salad. I’ve taken some liberties here and as I do when I order one in a restaurant I have a green salad instead of mac salad. I used US Wellness Meats brisket, Primal Palate’s seasonings, and Jozo’s soy sauce.
This recipe is crazy simple but the meat ends up so tender you’ll love it!

- Using a slow cooker or large Dutch oven place the brisket inside and then add all the ingredients on top.
- Use tongs to turn the brisket over 2-3 times to cover with sauce ingredients.
- Cook on Low or 250 degrees in the oven for 6 hours. You can cook as long as 8 hours if you want it even more tender.
- Remove brisket and slice it against the grain about 1/4” thick.
- About 20 minutes before you plan to take brisket out prepare the rice.
- And prepare a simple side salad.
Notes
To get a more authentic look use a large ice cream scoop for the rice. Typically plate lunches have 2 scoops of rice per plate. And no need for salt, just use the tasty Jozo’s shoyu.
