Categories     Meat

Time 9h

Yield 1 brisket, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 beef brisket, trimmed
1 large onion, cut into chunks
garlic powder
pepper
seasoning salt (I prefer McCormick)
1 (16 -24 ounce) can beer
1 (8 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (I prefer KC Masterpiece. I've had excellent results with either Original or Honey Barbecue flavors.)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 225 degrees.
  • Tear off a sheet of heavy-duty foil twice the length of roasting pan (a disposable pan works well).
  • Line the roasting pan with the foil, centered, folding the sides and ends up.
  • Place the brisket in the center of the foil.
  • Sprinkle a liberal amount of garlic powder, pepper, and seasoned salt over the brisket.
  • Scatter the onion chunks over the brisket.
  • Pour beer over all, making sure that everything is contained within the foil.
  • Seal foil. Fold the sides up first, then the top. Place in 225 degree oven for about 8 hours.
  • Remove from oven, but do not turn oven off. Open foil. Pour off & discard beer. Discard onions if desired.
  • Pour barbecue sauce over top of brisket.
  • Reseal. Return to oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove roasting pan from oven. Allow brisket to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

BEER-BRAISED BRISKET WITH ONIONS



Beer-Braised Brisket with Onions image

Categories     Beer     Beef     Mushroom     Onion     Braise     Quick & Easy     Brisket     Winter     Gourmet

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef brisket: Look for a brisket that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Trim the brisket: Remove any excess fat from the brisket before cooking. This will help the meat cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Season the brisket liberally: Rub the brisket with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Braise the brisket slowly: Brisket is a tough cut of meat, so it needs to be cooked slowly in order to become tender. Braising is a great way to cook brisket, as it allows the meat to cook in a moist environment, which helps to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Be patient: Brisket takes time to cook, so be patient and don't rush the process. The longer you cook the brisket, the more tender it will become.

Conclusion:

Beef brisket is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you are braising it, smoking it, or roasting it, beef brisket is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give beef brisket a try.
