Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (31/2- to 4-lb) boneless beef brisket, trimmed of excess fat
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pound onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced lengthwise (6 cups)
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (not dark)
1 dried-porcini bouillon cube (less than 1/2 ounce) or 1 beef bouillon cube, crumbled
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Pat brisket dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown meat well on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer with tongs to a platter.
  • Cook onions with bay leaf in fat remaining in pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer half of onions to a bowl. Arrange brisket over onions in pot, then top with remaining onions. Add beer, bouillon cube, and vinegar (liquid should come about halfway up sides of meat) and bring to a boil.
  • Cover pot and braise in middle of oven until meat is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Cool in sauce, uncovered, 30 minutes.
  • Transfer brisket to a clean cutting board. Skim off any fat from sauce, then season with salt and pepper. Slice meat across the grain and serve with sauce.

I've tried many brisket recipes, but this one is by far the best. The meat is so tender and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. I will definitely be making this again.

This beer-braised brisket is fall-apart tender and incredibly flavorful. The onions add a nice sweetness to the dish, and the beer gives it a rich, malty flavor. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with my family.
