Beer Brisket

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View Generously season the brisket with sea salt. Place it in a baking dish large enough to hold the brisket and the braising liquid. Completely cover the brisket with the sliced onions. (10 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, dark brown sugar, beef bouillon cube, coarsely ground black pepper, minced garlic, bay leaf, and dried thyme until the bouillon cube and sugar are mostly dissolved. Pour this aromatic mixture evenly over the brisket and onions. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to create a sealed environment. Bake in the preheated oven for 4 hours, or until the brisket is incredibly fork-tender and easily pulls apart. (240 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the juices in the baking dish. Remove the bay leaf. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Return the baking dish (uncovered) to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving with the luscious braising sauce spooned over the top. (15 minutes)
