Easy Beer & Onion Brisket
Yeah...you could do this without using the packaged stuff, but this is just so easy and absolutely delicious.
What you need
- 3-4 lb brisket
- 3 medium onions, sliced thin and 1 tbl onion powder or granules or
1 1/2 packages Lipton Onion Soup mix
- 1 bottle beer (dark is great, but ale works fine too)
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tbl Kitchen Bouquet (Optional)
- Ground black pepper
- 1 tbl Dijon mustard
How to make it
- Use a pan into which the brisket fits nearly edge to edge. Braising requires enough liquid around the meat to keep it moist.
- Heat oven to 300»
- Rinse room temperature brisket and pat dry with paper towels
- Place into baking dish and sprinkle with onion soup mix
- Pour beer over top
- Add beef broth mixed with optional Kitchen Bouquet evenly around edge
- Cover tightly with foil and place in oven for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours
- Remove brisket to a platter and cover lightly to keep warm
- Pour pan juices into a saucepan, stir in dijon mustard and bring to a boil
- Reduce slightly and thicken with cornstarch for thicker sauce
- Slice brisket against the grain in thin slices
- Spoon a small amount of sauce over the top and serve remaining sauce on the side
I often use a 13 x 9 inch baking dish for this and then transfer the cooking liquid to a medium saucepan to make the sauce.
